Mains power cutting out

My shower runs fine on the cold setting but when i press the button to change it to hot i.e. two red circles, it trips the mains power out. I have took the front cover off and there appears to be no trace of water ingress into the unit. Is this a common fault? Can it be fixed?

It may be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in 10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18 ohms. 

If you don’t have a multimeter  we sell them at £10 each 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, letting you know 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.
