Electric Shower and unstoppable water

[andemz]

Hi All,

I was having a shower tonight, i switched the electric shower on, had my shower and when i come to switch it off at the stop button on the face of the shower it just didn't stop. The electric light on the unit was then off, i pulled the pull cord to off and it still kept running.

I turned the whole electric off to the whole of my house and had a look inside, i can;t see anything of concern, no loose wires and all appropriately connected and covered, no sign of any water leakage at all. I took a look at the inlet pipe, which is provided in copper, but there is no isolation on that

Has anybody come across this before? if so, what tend to be the usual faults?

Regards

Andemz

Did the water stop then?

£ to a p the solenoid valve is shagged.

Try the shower doctor website for spares.
