Top 5 common faults with electric showers

We have posts on this blog for all the below issues so please see Index page here 

1) No water or power like a totally dead shower , check the incoming mains pressure is operating the pressure switch.

First it might be best to check that the mains stop valve is fully on , turned beck in 1/4 to 1/2 a turn to ensure it does not seize up.

Makes sure you turn any ISO valves on correctly

The micro switches should turn on correctly if pressure is set good.

See our test and replace micro switches post here 

2) Water goes hot and cold - usually pressure issue see above for more advice if ok them check the flow stabiliser valve inside make sure everything is ok if not replace the flow stabiliser valve.

3) No Heat water totally cold check the TCO and the heater elements.

4)Water dripping from the bottom of the shower is a sign that the PRD has blown this can be caused by limescale build up in heater or shower hoses blockage so check these prior to repair.

5) No water or water cuts in and out , shower shuts off while using it. Test the solenoid valve. it should be around 3.7 K ohms
