Hi all....
My problem was a erratic shower temperature. I took it apart to find a wire had been touching the pump/heater and burned through thus making 'contact'. By experimentation I discovered the shower was fine when the exposed wire was moved away from the pump yet went cool when it touched - Problem identified...
In order to fix this I moved the offending wire but an unknown brittle and burned component shattered as I did this - This component seemingly joined two blue wires together at the bottom of the shower and it obviously had some function. A resistor maybe? Anyway, I connected the two blue wires WITHOUT this now broken component in the middle and the shower works just fine.
However, I'm worried the thing that's now missing in my shower might be important - The shower is a 1 year old Triton T80si and I found a picture of the exact part I removed. The part is like a small (thimball sized) black cylinder with two small metal connectors at one end - The pic shows it perfectly and I have drawn an arrow...

I'd very much like your opinions of whether my removal and the non existence of this component is an 'issue'...
Thanks in advance
