Electric Shower Running Cold

fatboyonadiet

We have a shower that's about 3 years old (Triton Cara 9.5kw) and it was running hot and cold for a few days and now is completely cold

The pressure seems the same as it was before. All other water in the house is fine and no changes to anything recently.

I did unscrew the head/pipe to see if it was a limescale issue but still runs cold

Help!

Checked the electricity supply? Sounds like a dodgy pressure switch in the shower unit.

The shower is powering up fine (lights coming on)

How easy it is to replace the pressure switch? And is there a way to check it's that?

No easy way to check. It could just as easily be the thermostat or burned out element,but not so likely to be intermittent.
The price of getting it repaired could easily outweigh the cost of a new one.

Thanks, I did think that, that is it just better to get a new one

It's not intermittent anymore, just cold!

If you go for new, try for the same model. that will avoid any re plumbing or cabling problems. If same not available check where pipework and cables enter.
