Cold shower

[borosteve]

Just moved into this house with electric shower that has no hot water coming through,only cold? Is it knackered?

How do you know the electrical supply is on at the shower? There should be an isolator, usually a large pull switch on the bathroom ceiling or a large wall switch outside. It will usually have a neon indicator.

How old do you think the shower is?

Can you see the Amperage of the supply MCB and the size of the cable?

It sounds rather like it.
I suppose an easy test would be to watch the electric meter going round,
If the element is OK it will be fast if U/S it maybe won`t move.
Or call an electrician to test it properly.

Many electrical showers don't operate unless powered.

Which make and model do you have?
