SHOWERFORCE 8.5 bolwing fuse

When i have the shower on full power it has started blowing the fuse in the main fuse box. I can have it on medium power but obviously dont get enough power. Can you please let me know why.

Almost certainly a faulty elementin the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you can checkthem with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms.

If you have power to the elements and no heat it's probablythe elements, no power to the elements then it's probably a micro switch.

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at around £10 each with a link to an on line guide on how to use them forchecking and testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are really useful forchecking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting youknow much power you have left in batteries

(so you know if they are dud or not)  and lots of other jobs,in short they are well  worth the £10.
