Faulty Shower

[steliddle]

I have a Galaxy G8000S which has just stopped working and could do with a bit of help.
I have power to the pull cord in bathroom and no power light on the shower,no noise and no water i was reading through some other forums and people have had similar problems and this has been the solenoid.

I have power to the pull cord in bathroom

How do you know?

(Hint - anything other than a proper 2-contact voltage indicator or multimeter between L&N cannot be relied on.)

and no power light on the shower,no noise and no water i was reading through some other forums and people have had similar problems and this has been the solenoid.

A failed solenoid valve will mean no water, not no power light.

Check for 230V between the L&N terminals in the shower using a multimeter.

As BAS says, Also look for damaged or burnt wires when you get the cover off(WITH THE POWER SWITCHED OFF)

Do a continuity check on the solenoid, with the power off.

does on this model the power neon don't light to the water is flowing through the solenoid valve.

you need a resistance test not a continuity.
a resistance test should be 3.4 kohms or above.

more likely a failed solenoid coil.

Thankyou everyone i will get it tested and go from there.
