Hi

 

I think you have a micro switch stuck in the on position when you switch off your shower one micro switch keeps the power on to one of the elements and perhaps boils off some of the water inside, then the over heat safety device comes in and shuts the shower down.

 

The next time you come to use the shower because the heating tank isn’t full of water it starts to boil and that is how the shower starts coughing spluttering and issuing steam.

 

So you will have to look and see if you can spot the faulty switch and then replace it.

 

Until you fix the fault be sure to switch the shower off at the pull cord immediately you finish the shower
