shower will not turn off

[josewick]

I have a Triton JADE and it had developed this problem lately.

The power turns off but water is still coming... as if a valve or some sort had packed up.

What do i need to check and what needs replacing??

THANKS in advance..

Does water continue to flow even if you switch off electricity at main isolating switch (possibly pull switch in ceiling, or big red switch on wall outside bathroom)?

yes it does ...

So i am guessing its the solenoid does not shut off.

what reisitance is right??

I will do a quick check between the 2 terminals

thanks

The solenoid would normally close under spring action when no current is applied. If it is not closing, it may be failure of solenoid valve (not coil), or possibly grit blocking small holes in it. Best thing is to get and fit new solenoid valve, unless you think shower is a bit past it and want to replace whole thing.
