Hope someone can help please.
I've got a 3.5 year old Gainsborough Energy 2000x which has completely stopped working ie. nothing, not even a power light when ceiling switch is on.
After reading other topics in this forum I went and bought a multimeter and did some testing. There are 240V across both sets of points in the ceiling switch and also across the inward cables at the shower. Also tried combinations of the red and black cables at the top of the heat exchanger and got 240V for one and nothing for another. I also got nothing across the black and white cables connected to the solenoid.
I'm assuming this means the solenoid is at fault and that this explains why some cables at the heat exchanger give no reading. Before ordering a solenoid I wanted to check with you guys to get comfort that if the solenoid gives no reading it is because the solenoid is at fault and not because there's a problem with the heat exchanger.
Can anyone advise please so I don't waste money on a solenoid which may be OK.
Thanks.
