    No power at shower

    I'll be honest I haven't checked what size cable it is, I'd hope it'd be 10mm but could be 6mm as it looks very old. I haven't checked vtage across the neutral either, can I just pin the earth cable off the multimeter into the neutral and it will give me a reading the same as doing it into the...

    No power at shower

    No I've not done that, I'll have a look when I'm back home. We had a new boiler installed late October early November but I'll go with what you'd saying and unscrew the jb from the concrete and have a look at the wiring there.

    No power at shower

    So I turned the breaker off and checked the cable, 0V. Turned the breaker on and had a reading of 240V. The cable runs from the ground floor where the MCU is, down into the cellar with all the other cables, runs from one side of the cellar to the other where it then goes up into the kitchen...

    I measured across the live and earth before it goes into the junction box and had a reading of 240V then I measured it as it comes out the junction box to cancel out the junction box being at fault. Which as you've said leaves the wiring at fault as there's no voltage underneath the bath so the...

    No power at shower

    Yeah it looks like that's the only fix, I checked the junction box in the cellar and it has a reading of 240v either side but I've double checked the reading underneath the bath and there's no reading either side so the issue is between where it leaves the cellar and where I can see it running...

    And this is what I'm sure is the other connection which is in the cellar. I'll test this on both sidea with the breaker on and off to make sure I'm on the right power supply line and if so it may be this at fault. Now I've really looked at the electrics in this house they all seem very ***** ‍♂️

    No power at shower

    I've found the wiring and it goes straight from the MCU in the little hall way, underneath to the kitchen the straight up the back wall to underneath the bath as I've pushed the wiring up and it's lifted it straight up as you can see in this image to the previous one I posted. Now is a straight...

    Would this be suffice? https://www.diy.com/departments/mk-white-30a-3-way-junction-box-86mm/189593_BQ.prd So I pinned into the supply and earth above where its connected and I had no reading, did the same below the connection and I had no reading, now my electrical knowledge and testing...

    Must be for an old outside light I guess, doesn't seem to switch anything off in the house.

    No power at shower

    Hi Terryplumb, I agree it's a mess, I'll pick one up from screwfix anything I need to look out for or just any 3 way junction box? I'm using a multimeter just checking voltage across the power and earth line, I've left the neutral out as I should have a reading across those two.

    We have this switch but it's only got a 5amp fuse in and I've swapped it. Does anyone know what it is? It's in our main bedroom.

    No power at shower

    So I've pinned into either side of where it looks like they're connected and I'm not getting any readings, I've been in the loft and can't see an isolation switch, there's no pull cord isolation switch but everything checked out in the MBU as I've literally just triple checked, switched off all...

    No power at shower

    Well I'm underneath the bath, there's no switch or fuse but the earth, neutral and feed seem to be connected here, the earth and feed have insulation tape wrapped around and the neutral is connected with a scotch lock. I'm from the motor trade and we rarely see jobs this bad anymore, looks...

    No power at shower

    Hi, Thanks for the replies already, I didn't think of checking in the loft so I'll have a look up there, I'm just on with removing all the silicone sealant around the bath hoping there's one under there for some strange reason. No airing cupboard in the house but good shout.

    No power at shower

    Hi, I fitted a new shower back in July, went for the exact same kW and everything has been great until this week when I stopped getting 240V at the shower. All I can find is the breaker but there doesn't seem to be an isolation switch anywhere or a fuse, I don't have any power at the shower...
