Heatrae Sadia shower - leaking from white circular plastic..

[pinsbent]

Hi

I'm not a plumber so please excuse my lack of knowledge on the correct parts names.

I'm reasonably good at fixing stuff though.........

I've got a Heatrae Sadia Carousel (quite an old one) that has developed a dreadful leak, I've taken the cover off to have a look (while wearing heavy duty insulated gloves) and the leak seems to be coming from the large white circular plastic disk that controls the temp setting.

Is this repairable or is it a bin and replace job?

Thanks

anyone?

what model carousel ? there is about 3 different models.
give us a pic if not sure.

It may be a bursting disc which acts as a form of safety valve. It has possibly popped for a reason.

Not sure of the model but it's about 15 years old I guess.

Haven't got a camera handy but if you imagine a unit with two turn knobs...the upper right sets the flow to high med or low and the other sets the temperature.

The white plastic dial is behind the temperature dial.

Without pulling it fully apart the white dial looks like it's actually two plastic pieces and the water seems to be leaking out the join where they face each other. Hope this helps.

Is the shower square rather than oblong ?

 

[pinsbent]

Yes, nearer to square then oblong

Getting somewhere.
is the dials like 3 points or 4 ?

Err.....not quite sure what you mean.

The flow (smaller upper right) dial had off, low, mde and high positions with off being up.

The temp (large middle bottom) dial had up an down and a hot / cold scale behind a clear(ish) plastic window to the right of the dial.

Hope that helps

Not the one i thought.

Just had a look and there's a cat number label

It's a 7.5Kw model

Hope this helps
