Good afternoon,

Thank you for your email.

It sounds very much like your solenoid coil has failed in the closed position and, as such, is not allowing the valve to open and water to enter the shower. The solenoid needs to be energised constantly throughout the showering experience for water to continue to flow into the unit. However, to be sure beyond reasonable doubt that it is the solenoid at fault then this part needs to be tested with a digital multimeter. When tested with a multimeter, the solenoid should display a resistance reading across its two terminals of at least 3.5k ohms. If the reading obtained is less than this, then the solenoid will need to be replaced. (Remember to test the solenoid in its failed state; i.e. when it is not working.)

Should you require a new solenoid you can order one by following the link below...

And, if you do not own a digital multimeter, but would like to purchase one, then you can also do this via the website by clicking on the next link below...

I hope that this helps you out.

If the shower has power to it and no water coming out then it does sound like the solenoid coil on the soleneoid valve assembly has gone faulty.

These are other known symptoms that a coil is about to go or has gone faulty:

Electricity getting to the shower and no water. 
Shower works intermittently.
Water cuts off and then after 5-10 mins and can be switched on again and work. 
There is a leak dripping on the coil from above and then shower cuts out.
There is a very loud buzzing noise form the solenoid coil on the solenoid valve.
The water cuts off completely and wont come back on and there is electricity to the shower.  

If you are experiencing any of the above then you can replace the solenoid coil without the valve or you can replace the complete solenoid valve assembly. 

You can find both the coil and the solenoid valve assembly on the spares diagram for your shower in this link provided - http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/triton/TRITO-PARENT-38-Triton-Trance
