Mira shower problem

[BarryChall]

My Mira shower keeps resetting....i turn off the power supply and turn it back on and the red light shows and then the shower cuts out. Any ideas...its about 8-10 years old.

Tried taking hose and head off and ran ok from unit without resetting. Then when put hose back on it reset again.

Have you descaled the shower head?

 

[BarryChall]

I've just tried it again and the reset button comes on without the shower head on ....so it's not the head.

Read the manufacturers link I posted earlier - kinked hose?

Try giving the filter a clean.

 

[BarryChall]

I don't think it's the hose now as the reset light comes on even when I disconnect it..
.where would the filter be found ???

Wouldn't have a clue where to start. I'll look on you tube.

Power off, water isolation valve off, case off, then use @newboy 's diagram to see where the filter is. It's a plastic nut that screws into the cold inlet valve, unscrew that and check the filter's clean.

 

[BarryChall]

What's the water isolation valve ??

 

[Newboy]

On the pipework supplying the shower you need to find an isolator before attempting any repair (as well as isolating the electrical supply before it reaches the shower - at the consumer unit preferably)


Correction to post #9 - Part number is 1829.062

In your pic, bottom right, it's is a plain screwdriver slot in the ISO valve. Insert and turn the screwdriver 90 deg until the slot is horizontal.

Are you sure you're confident enough to do this? Maybe get someone with exp in as you could cause damage? Needs a reasonable level of DIY skill to do this safely TBH.

That's why I'm asking questions....i haven't got a clue ....i can follow instructions but I work in am office and don't know any diy.

I have a wife and two kids so we don't have much money..thats why I'm trying to fix it myself. My 12 year old daughter is going up the wall as she isn't able to wash her hair as is my wife.. .we are currently running the bath at 630 each morning. Sob story over.
