Mira Sport Max - Replacing a TCO

[mike302010]

Hi

Our Mira Sport Max overheat light is permanently on.

After reading quite a few similar posts, they seemed to suggest it could be the TCO.

Ive got the part, but having took the shower cover off, cant for the life of me work out how to get at the screws that hold the TCO in place!

Does it come of independently, or will I have to remove the shower back plate etc?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Cheers

Mike

have you checked continuity of the tco before changing it ?

Afraid not no - dont have a multimeter

It is guess work I suppose - I am making a pretty big assumption its the TCO.

The only other thing that seems to make sense would be the inlet filter, but the flow is fine...

the low flow would come on with a blocked filter.

when the overheat neon is on
which is only on the med or high setting is the flow cold or cycling hot/cold ?

 

[mike302010]

No low flow light, but the shower is stone cold regardless of the setting.

Overheat light only remains on in Med/High setting

if you can't check the tco for continuity and you have a tco then change it but you'll have to remove heat can.

Is that a fairly straight-forward job?

Ive got the Torx bits ready, but couldnt work out how Id get the TCO off. Any chance you could explain how id do this?

Sorry to be a pain....but my missus is 8 mths pregnant and havin no shower is drivin her nuts!

it's abit of mucking about if you haven't got a flexi driver to get in to the back screw.


isolate the water supply and drain excess from the black filter on the left. release the bottom out pipe screws.
release the inlet connector bracket to the flow valve.

you only need to get it foreward enough to get to the back screw.
make sure the surface is clean/dry before fitting new one.
