Opal II - Won't stop

Shower switched itself on without anyone in the bathroom, lights on the front panel were flickering.



Will only switch off using the pull switch.



When it's first switched on just the normal heat setting light it on and it gives warm water for a few seconds, then the low pressure and cold lights start flickering along with the normal heat setting light.

It runs for about another 10 seconds or so then the water cuts out. We haven't had any problems with water pressure before so I suspect the water cutting off is to do with whatever is causing the low pressure light to come on.



Reading other threads is sounds like it's the control PCB but I want to be sure before I start buying parts.

Sounds like a faulty PCB however i would check the solenoid firstjust in case.

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

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