Redring Electric Shower blowing fuse.

[GRIMEY]

hi, Just wondering if anyone could help. I have a Redring expression 500 electric shower. Its a coulple of years old. Recently, over the past few months,it has fused 30amp fuse twice. I have replaced it and just carried on using. The overheat light may come on for a few seconds sometimes when switched on. I have noticed that the temperature gauge is slowly having to be set to a warmer setting. Know nothing about electrics apart from replacing fuse. any suggestions or is this normal. Shower is never on more than 10 min at a time.

If so your fuse is doing its job

Where the hells Tyrone?

Anyway, its normal to have to set the temperature dial higher this time of year, because the incoming water is colder. By turning the temperature dial up, what you're actually doing is slowing the water down so it spends more time in the heater

I wouldn't think 36 amps would blow a 30 amp fuse within 10 minutes, disinfo. I may be wrong though.
