Thanks so much for making this video. The fault was your No.1 listed fault and exactly as you said the water supply failed while in the middle of hair washing!! New solenoid coil in the post and the shower should soon be up and running again. A great channel - super helpful and clear. You save me a fortune Shower Doctor - thanks a million!

Hi George. Great thanks for your videos. Saved me a lot of time and aggravation by only needing to swap out a solenoid coil. Had planned to install a whole new unit, so this is a massive time & frustration saver. Really appreciate the effort you've gone to to make these videos. Thanks again.

Hi Alex, thank you for your comment! George has mentioned it during our live stream last night: bit.ly/2pYl1MU (watch from around 27min 15sec).

Thank you so much for this easy to understand video. I am a 66yr old women who has no idea about plumbing. I now know what the problem is with my shower. Thank you so much for taking time out to help us.

Thanks - You've just saved me the ball-ache of swapping out a fairly new Triton shower and replacing the solenoid valve only with a part from a "scrap" unit. Superstar!

Really helpful video. Fixed our Mira Sprint's faulty solenoid without any problems. Many thanks.

Very good Guide,Thank you.

This Guy is Great, straight to the issues not too wordy, and truly is an Expert of his trade, thanks for the insights , Jim the Elec

Thank you

Excellent videos!

Excellent video - Thank you. I managed to work-out that my Triton T80 has a faulty Solenoid coil (gone O/C) - I've ordered a new one.

Very helpful Thanks a lot ❤️

Thanks for a great vid..

thanks very much for explanation

thanks shower doc, these vids have helped me solve a problem, replaced solenoid. These vids are the heart and soul of humanity, free help from an expert is very inspirational and in this case, was very helpful. Thanks for doing what you do.

Many, many thanks Doc. You have a new subscriber, in me.

Thanks again so very very much

Love the videos! A new Trition ast 1000 installed less than a month ago. Had last one replaced because we had no cold water, the new one is now doing the same, can you help?? Thanks

very useful video, saved me a bit of money,Thank you.

Hi, could you please explain about pump faulty, how to replace pump or to how to clean filter? Thanks

Amazing. Brilliant. Fascanating. Thank you

brilliant.

I've just made an order on your site for a solenoid and microswitch for a Neptune Solo having watched this video and the instructional one on fitment. Thank you very much 🙂 One criticism:- my unit is discontinued, so I cannot get a replacement value, therefore I will need to salvage the old one and I risk damaging an o-ring in the process. I have had to order a selection of o-rings on Amazon just in case. I would have though you guys could put together a smaller pack of common shower o-rings yourself that people would happily order alongside your spare parts. It would compliment the silicone grease pot you already sell.

Aspirante Electric Shower 9.5Kw about 18 months old No hot water! Cold water flows I have follwed your guides. The TCO upper has continunity, (Checked in situ, not disconnected), as has the lower TCO continuity. Both Heater Cans show resistance as does the Solenoid Valve. I know this should not be tried! I pressed each of the tiny heater solenoids contacts on the PCB board with a screwdriver whilst the front cover was removed but front cover cable attached to PCB. Wow! The water flow got Hot! On releasing the pressure on each heater Solenoid Contact Points, the water ceases being heating. Now at a loss of what the problem is! Bye the way, the various switches on the cover appear to click ok.

Very well explained. My solenoid valve has gone wrong. Now it's a case of replacing it. 👍

useful!

Excellent series of videos... thanks to your tips I worked out that my luke warm Mira shower had a faulty micro-switch!

Hi George, i have a mira elite 2 ,which was installed ten years ago,when switched on the flow is very very poor.I removed the cover and all parts were covered in black carbon,i noticed that the brushes are worn as is the communator .Ive decided to replace the mira as i would find it impossible to remove the motor.Hope im doing the right thing.Kevin

Hi, I have a Mira jump shower, the power switch stopped working. I think the problem is from the latching switch. How do I replace it?

Hi. Thanks fir video. What about if you on shower and about 1 min go only cold water then starts works fine and flow hot water?

Hi all these videos from the shower doctor are so helpful! I think we've established my Mira Advance Flex shower has a solenoid valve issue as it keeps stopping then I have to turn it off at the switch then on again to make it work for another 3mins- but can anyone recommend any solenoid valve?? Thank you in Advance!

I have Gainsborough delux 10.5 and it is either boiling hot or freezing, no in between. can this be fixed or do I need a whole engine?

best ever explain

Hello doc, thanks for your service. My electric shower neither pump nor heat the water. All I get is just cold water coming out from the water tank when I turned on the heater. How can I figure out what the problem is?

My T80 SI is leaking from the seal at the top of the Shower Flow Valve, it looks like some sealant was used, that is where the water beads out slightly. Hardly noticeable until the shower has been running for about 10 minutes. What type of sealant should I use to fix it?

I am competent using an electric meter ( I still have an old AVO ) thanks Shower Doctor for giving the 'lowdown'

Hi George, amazing video. Just wondering what causes the shower to stop working every 3 months and I need to get a new one every time. My landlord had put 4 new showers through last year and a half. We have low water pressure. Is that an issue that keeps killing the shower?

Hi. I really like your channel. I have a Mira Elite QT shower and the water stopped flowing yesterday. I opened the unit and there was a good deal of carbon dust inside the shower. I don't particularly want to replace the whole shower unit. Could my problem be the solenoid or the brushes that need replacement? Thanks a million

George Hi. Just a line to say thanks solenoid coil €17.96. €8 postage family of 6 now clean. Thanks for the great videos many thanks.

Would a faulty solenoid valve prevent all power getting to my Gainsborough 2000x and stopping the indicator lights from illuminating as well as not allowing water through also. Thanks in advance.

Hi great video , I have a triton t100xr I get lots of pressure and flow when it’s in the cold position. The problem is only get like warm water when it is turned to full heat and the flow is slow. Can you advice what the problem might be and what I can test as I have a simple test meter Thanks

at least I know the reason why water stops and what to discuss with an electrician. thanks a lot

Hi there Just one Question I have this electric shower what won’t switch on .. The red light at off and on Botton where the string in attached is not working .. What can be the problem? Thank you!

hi I have a t70 gsi+, since it was first fitted it never is really that hot, I adjusted the mains water valve down to just above the minimum 0.7 bar setting. when I drop below that it switches the elements of so that part is working but the only way I can get any heat is just above this but the pressure out of the shower is pathetic. it seems as if it's only using one element when there's too much pressure. It's really hit and miss to get it right

Well thanks had new shower fitted and only lukewarm water temp hoping it's just water pressure type problem and a shower pump will solve it

I am a bit confused. The main power supply works but my Electrolux electric shower has no power at all. It let's the water in and out but doesn't heat it up. I replaced both relays/switches but it didn't change anything. Could it be solenoid? Tco? Thanks for your input guys!

Hello shower doctor I have replaced prd in my shower now when I turn it off at the unit there's water still coming out from the outlet pipe

Thank you George, a big help.

The brand of my Tankless shower heater is Champs UK technolgy.

Hi what's about Mira atl advance, water stop coming at all. When I try to find solenoid valve it's look like doesn't exist on the market. Did my electic shower also have solenoid valve or is something else need to be exchange?

Amazing 😉 information ℹ️ had 2 subscribe thanks 🙏🏾 a million m8 👍🏾

I have a triton aspirante topaz 10.5kw. All turns on fine and good flow of water however only cold water comes out. If i give the shower unit a smack on the bottom right then the water heats up and then all works fine. Only i have to bang it each time i turn it on to get hot water. Please help with any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi there! I have been having trouble with my shower since early 2017, tepid water, never hot. Coped in summer but when it started to get colder we decided to get a new shower in the assumption it was the age and possibly the element. Installed new shower - Triton aspirante (the old one was the model down from this), great shower but same problem :( I get boiling hot water from all other taps but not the shower :( any clue what it could be and who I need to call out? Thanks so much in advance!!!! X

well done chap :) nice.

Hi. I'm about to buy a Digital shower. Do you rate them? I can't decide which make, Mira or Aqualisa, there is a 3rd runner too but I've not looked at that type yet. What your view? pros/cons?

Thanks for all you do, very helpful. I have problem for anyone to comment on..... Triton T300si shower, 3 weeks old, the boiler was moved and since that happened the shower light for low pressure in on with cold water only. A pump was installed and is providing 1.6 bar at 12 ltrs a min to the shower. However the shower does not let any additional flow through and is still exactly the same. My theory is that when the boiler was moved they cut into the cold main (obviously) and this let the water out of the heating element. When the boiler move was completed, they did not purge the shower and subsequently the element has blown or something....? Any thoughts would be helpful.

hello shower doctor my mira sport shower when I turn it on it stays on for a few seconds then of again i try serval times but keeps doing the same. any idea what would be wrong

Hi. I just wanted to get some advice if I may please? My girlfriend took a shower yesterday and since she finished using it and switched it off by the button, the shower head continues to drip water as if its not turned off properly. The drip is not the equivalent of if it was turned on fully. It's like as if, if it had a faucet, the faucet wouldn't be fully turned for it to be off. I've unscrewed the hose from the bottom and theres water coming out of the bottom. If theres a faulty part I can replace, I'd be happy to have a go at repairing it. I replaced the solenoid valve on this shower thanks to your KZread video a few months ago when the shower wasn't coming on any more and it fixed it! My shower is a Triton Rapide 3+.

My triton t90 xr is not getting up to temperature, it sounds like the element. Can they be replaced or will I need a complete new shower ?

Where was the link on the screen to the video on how to replace the solenoid valve? :(

My Mira escape shower seems to be leaking somewhere inside, probably No 2 fault. I can’t seem to find the prv you mention on your video, (these are great by the way) I’ve taken a photo of exactly where the water is leaking from could you take a look and advise?

Found this very informative

Hi George. I replaced my solinoid valve and the water ran fine again and the shower was hot. I left it running for 5 mins and then I stepped in to have a shower but by this time the water temperature dropped dramatically and i tried everything including a continuity test on the TCO switch and it was fine so I'm baffled now as to the newest problem. possibly a heating element issue I'm just not sure.

how do i change 45A shower switch? the switch beside the one you changed in the video above, as my 45A shower switch keeps breaking, & i have 2 call an electrician every 3 weeks. can you do a video of changing 45A shower switch please.

hey doc was wondering if you maybe to help, i have a german aeg tankless water heater , it was power going to it but no power to heat the water, its just running and not turning on

Top man

I have a Triton t90z the shower has started making a really loud noise and the water coming out is boiling hot. What is the problem?

Hi I have a triton Amber 3 and thought my hose was leaking but actually after buying a new one I found out it’s when a shower head goes on it’s coming out the bottom of the head towards hose is that my prd as nothing wrong with no head on please help if poss and thanks for video

Could you please show me the inside of the shower cover redring 8.5kw

Thanks and well done......But, you have missed a quick wee bit of info you could have used. The solenoid valve can fail in both the open and closed position........So No water and also constant water. Which is the problem I have.

I have an Aqualisa quartz shower. Both buttons LED are on but shower not working. Can I reset the controller?

Aqualisa Lumi Electric Shower stuck to the max heat. Nothing happening when you turn dial down or up, it's on max all the time. I have the shower for 2 years, and it was no problems till today! I went in shower and its boiling water coming out from shower! What can be the problem? Thanks

Hello, I have a Mira Zest, okay, it's getting on. Probably +16 years old but goes hot n cold. I can remove it and drop it in to you for repair, or you could com n fix it, I live in Bristol. It's worked fine up til now but you're right about it suddenly going cold just as I've put shampoo on my Hair! Help! Desperate. Martin

I have a Gainsborough 9.5kw, but the solenoid valve isn't visible?

Hi I have a Mira Sprint 8.5kW J08Da 46/14. Since last week, when it is turned off, cold water continues to flow gently from the head, not just a drip, any idea what is causing this and how to fix?

Can you replace the mini rubber ring that goes on the shower head?

Good Morning I have watch a couple of your videos but have not found my fault but that could just be down to me; OK see if I can explain the problem! I went to have a shower yesterday and there was no water the pull cord showed it was on with a red light the shower had a red light but not water? I know it is getting on a bit so thought I will buy a new one fitted in turned the power on pulled the cord red light came on turn the new shower on and blow me there was no waster. As it was getting late I left it until this morning but what I did badd idea or not I fitted a cable to the old shower and switched it on and i could hear the pump so put a pipe on and it pump it out ( not very fast but the water was not under pressure ) so what could this be any help is well come.

I recently bought a Triton T80Z 10.5 KW from your good selves. It works fine but the thermal cut out is operating prematurely for my requirements. I need to hot shower for more than the normal time. There are thousands of eczema sufferers who get relief by hot showering. Is it possible to get a less sensitive TCO? My old Galaxy Aqua 3000 (obtained from your good selves) did not have this premature cut-out and that lasted over ten years. I tried to get a replacement but as you know they are no longer available.

Hi Mira electric shower needs to bang it to switch off i have cheched the power botom is ok what could that be?

Hey a jhave a mira sport max 108kw every job again it trips ou the rcb t randomly (mostly when herself is int there.) The 40 ecb is backed by a 50 mcb And ideas where I should start looking ?

My Triton As2000xt adjustable dial is completely stuck( hot and cold) help

Hi, just wanted to ask, what if the isolation switch doesn’t switch off or on? Mine is stuck on ‘on’ and won’t turn off, I have to hold the switch at an angle for the shower to turn on. Does that mean it’s the selonoid valve or something else? If anyone could shine some light I would be very grateful please 😢

Mine was working fine up to today now is just cold water what could be causing this?

Hopefully channel is still active. My issue is when you press the 'on' button, the shower will only come on for less than a second and then turns off. Every know and again on its own accord it will turn on as expected and work fine?

In number 1, by not enough power are you referring to the pressure being low? That is the issue with my t90sr. The flow is basically non existent and the water is always at the hottest when when you adjust the temperature

So I have the issue of water not starting, the solenoid reads just over 4kohms, if I bang on the solenoid and plunger it sometimes manages to open, sometimes doesn’t. Is it the entire water section that needs replacing?

hi have triton t90sr and when i turn of power water still comming from head cold water

please help -fitted new shower Triton T70GSI cut out within minute of using hot shower, no issue when using cold shower. 7 days old shower

Hi, my shower chord isn't turning on. It seems like it's sticking, any tips?

My Triton started to run cold only. I tried the TCO reset but it's still the same. Any ideas please?

1:01 thank you doctor shower!! This is the problem in my shower. I thought it was an electric fault but I have installed a new shower system of the same make and model of the old one and still got the same fault. I suspect that the culprit is a blockage in the drainage system of my washing machine. Could it be possible? Thanks! 💯👍🏼

My Shower unit a Mira Sprint, Seems to be perpetually too hot. The regulator seems to have no effect on the amount of heat. If I drop the regulator to less than half the capacity the Low Flow light comes on and the water gets very cold. So it is either far too hot or far too cold. Do I need to change the Thermal cut out?

hi, i have a redring expressions shower and the water is cold. if i unscrew the shower head and place my finger against the hose end to stop the water running and turn the shower on i can feel the water getting hot. when i take away my finger and let the water run- it gets colder very quickly. can you help ?
