Triton Martinique no power light

My Triton Martinique cut out whilst in use (the water pressure light came on), it came back on briefly, then cut out again and i could smell burning and now its dead. I've confirmed the power supply is good and the water pressure appears to be good. I've attached a picture to show where there is no power; the power inlet has 240v, the Thermal Cut out has 240v coming out of it, there is 240v where this goes into the circuit board, but 0v coming out of the circuit board. I can see no obvious signs of anything being burnt out. Is there anything else i can test, and can you suggest which component may be faulty? I can replace the whole unit for £125. Thank you

Yes you would get zero voltage at your arrow until you have water flow.


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

If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is not operating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

The video is intended as a guide and does not cover every shower.

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

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

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

Thanks for your quick reply.
I measured the solenoid, with the power off and I disconnected the 2 wires from the solenoid in order to be able to take a reading. It shows 3.7k. One of the spade connectors (brown wire) was quite discoloured/corroded?

It would appear that the Main PCB is faulty , but with these showers you need to change the main and cover PCBs if there is a fault.
You could check the solenoid, but the burning would point to a pcb fault.
