This question is regarding Triton T70gsi - Shower Spares

Triton T70 gsl

Hi

Lost heat on the shower other wise it works as normal. After watching your videos, I have a 3.8 reading on the solenoid and 12.2 and 15.4 on the two elements in the water tank, which I am presuming is low heater element and high. The shower is less than two years old and works perfectly but doesn't heat up.

I'm now thinking on/off power switches but I notice that there are two listed. I am assuming power on/off is to provide power to the unit and the micro switch is to turn on power to the elements... Is this likely to be my next step? How does one test the micro switch for operation?



Thanks for your videos they were a great help and do you hold the parts required when I purchase?

Cheers

I think you may have a faulty Thermal Cut Out (TCO).

A faulty TCO will have no continuity across the two terminals (The black thing on top of the heating tank)

Therefore a good TCO will have power at both connections and a faulty TCO will have power at only one.

(The function of the TCO is, if the water over heats it cuts the power off to the elements until the water cools, this can take up to 15mins)

See Video:

After fitting a new TCO

When fitting a new TCO listen to the shower, after it has completed its first on/off cycle, if when it is switched off you hear it continuing to heat (Noise like a kettle starting to boil) this will mean that there is a switch or a relay that is stuck in the on position, this is keeping an element energised and this is probably what caused the original TCO to fail.

If this is the case replace the faulty switch or relay and make sure that you switch the shower off at the isolating switch when the shower is not in use because this may cause the new TCO to fail.

Whilst the flow rate (temp selector) is placed quite central when the power selector engages the second heater, my shower over heats and cuts out. I am thinking this is a flow volume problem but the mains pressure is good to high so what's the problem likely to be.
