Shower help

[godinman]

Hi Guys,

I've got an Mira Azura 9.8kw electric shower that has developed a fault.

Currently as soon as I turn the shower on the light in the button turns straight off and I get a short 3 second burst of water and it then immediately turns stops. If I play around with the button sometimes the light will flicker for a bit and if I hold the button down the shower seems to keep running.

Any thoughts? Flow seems the same as ever and when it's running the thermostat seems to work fine, maybe the shower is a little cooler tho.

It also 'might' be a bit better on full cold, although I can't really find a repeatable pattern to it.

Thanks for any help! Having a heavily pregnant women denied a shower on a Sunday morning is not a good thing!

I wired it and remember the pain of reaching up inside the airing cupboard to get the cable into the isolator! Agree with you that it probably isn't the mains.

I sort of think it might be the switch in the shower as fidling with it makes it work, but apparently it did it this morning after working okay for 5 mins or so.

We're 90% sure that the shower isn't as hot as it used to be, I remember not being able to stand under it on full heat but now it's just toasty.
