Triton T80 8Kw shower

I have an old Triton T80 shower (about 20 years) which has been trouble free until last week. It suddenly stopped delivering water halfway through a shower. Even the cold water would not work.



At first, I suspected low mains pressure, but I opened the cold tap on the wash basin and this appeared to have normal mains pressure. There was also mains electric power at the shower unit. Turning the on/off selector did result in a short spray for a second or so, but then stopped again completely. After waiting 30 mins, I turned the shower on and it operated normally again.



It has worked fine all week, but today suddenly stopped working again. After reading your forum, I suspect it may be the solenoid valve. I have checked the resistance across its terminals and it reads an open circuit with infinite resistance. Even selecting a more sensitive range on the multimeter showed no value, only an open circuit reading.



Does this sound like a solenoid valve fault? How difficult is it to remove the solenoid valve. I can see that the incoming water supply is connected via a 90 Deg yorkshire elbow, but I'm not sure how the outlet connects to the stab valve above it. Is this just a push fit sealed by an O ring?



I would be grateful for any advice.



Regards,

Mike
