This is it, the most common fault with electric showers - the solenoid valve. If you find the shower stops working completely, or indeed cuts off (very often when you have soap in your hair) this is the culprit. It's usually the coil that breaks down. The coil (when working) lifts a plunger inside the solenoid valve and allows the water into the shower. When the coil breaks down, the water stops running and that's what causes the problem. As usual, we have a video that explains how to test and replace a faulty solenoid valve on our YouTube channel. Not what you're looking for?

Seems Ok so far, but when fitting the plumber remarked that the shower inlet was incompatable with that on the shower unit being replaced. The new shower seemed standard, but worthy of consideration. The hose to the shower head was long but the shower head was not to my liking as the spray was too wide and not adjustable. I am looking to replace this."

Testing the solenoid coil is fairly straightforward with a standard multimeter: make sure the shower is switched off, multimeter is set to Ohms, then place the probes on the 2 coil terminals (highlighted in red). Generally, resistance reading between 3.5-4.0 kilo Ohms means your coil is fine.

If your shower is absolutely cold, what could be causing it is the Thermal Cut-Out (also known as TCO for short), and what happens is if the shower overheats, this cuts off the power to the elements. If the shower overheats just a little, it cuts it off and resets. If this keeps happening though, or indeed the shower gets far too hot, it cuts out completely and will need replacing. We have a handy DIY video that shows you how to test and replace your Thermal Cut-Out. Thermal cut-out (highlighted in red) typically sits right on top of the heating tank.

The reason that the shower is tepid, or there is not enough power from it is perhaps because of the microswitch. This may have burnt out inside and not be allowing the power through to the elements. Indeed, it could be an element itself, if one of the elements inside heating tank has burnt out then the shower will only be working at half power.
