No water coming from shower

The shower was working earlier but now when I have gone to use it there is no water coming out. I had to replace the front cover last year as the switch had rusted and also the solenoid valve assembly (both bought from here) and all was good until now.



Do you have any ideas of what it could be?

It may be your solenoid valve, you can check it if you havea multi meter, you should have a reading of at least k3.5 ohms, across the twoterminals any less and you need a new valve. (Check the valve in the failedstate.) (When it has stopped working!)

 

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is notoperating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them  with a guide on how to use them for checkingand testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix your shower, they are reallyuseful for checking you have a power supply to appliances, for checking fusesand letting you know much power you have left in batteries

(So you will know if they are good or not) and lots of otherjobs, in short they are well worth a few pounds

I notice you said that you replaced the solenoid recentlyhowever can you check it.

Is there something leaking inside the unit?

The reason I ask this is it is unusual for the switch torust also if there is any dampness about this will shorten the life of thesolenoid.
