I have recently replaced a faulty Mira electric shower unit (8Kw / 8.5Kw) with a Gainsborough 9.5Kw shower unit. This worked Ok for approximately 5 months, then stopped heating up the water. Gainsborough replaced the "engine" of the shower. When this was fitted this shower worked Ok for approx. 3 weeks before the same fault occurred. Gainsborough stated that it is unlikely to be the unit and that the water pressure should be checked. The local water authority checked the water pressure outside , inside and at the shower and confirmed that there was enough water pressure to operate the shower. Gainsborough have sent out another "engine". This has been fitted but has not produced any hot water at all.
The original shower was fitted (approx. 5 years ago) by a qualified electrician. The cable is fitted to its own consumer unit with a 40a circuit breaker. I am not sure what size cable is fitted.
Can anybody advise on this problem?
