I have a Mira Minilite mixer shower fitting in a downstairs extension. It's maybe 5 years old. A few days ago it stopped running hot, at all, not even lukewarm. I reckoned I might have to replace or fix it so I hunted down the isolating valves. To see if I was turning off the right valves, I ran the shower on max temp setting (still cold water) and turned of the cold valve (I knew it was cold as it also ran to the toilet). I then found I couldn't reach the hot valve so turned the cold valve back on with the intention to get better access later.
At this point I discover that the shower is running hot, I turn the temperate dial back and forth and gives a little whine on hot but still works.
Did I somehow clear an airlock? Any ideas what else might have been going on?
We've not had any supply problems or had any work done lately. The only out of the ordinary thing was that this occured when the outside temperature was below zero.
