Hi. I have a Mira Sport 8.5kW electric shower which was fitted about 10 years in an ensuite shower. Although it used to work fine, it hasn't been used very much and now it seems to have given up on life and expired.
When the mains switch is on, the power light comes on.
When the control is moved to Cool, the power light stays on but nothing seems to happen, apart from a very faint gurgling noise and a very slow dribble or dripping of cold water out the bottom outlet.
When the control is moved to Low or High, the "Low Pressure" warning light comes on, but the dribbling continues.
But move the control back to Stop and the dribbling stops.
I have checked that the shower is receiving 240V and it is. I have removed the inlet filter and cleaned it (not that it needed cleaning), but it made no difference. The water at the shower inlet is mains pressure and is certainly not low pressure.
Any ideas as to what is wrong ?
