Hi all,

We have an Insignia GT0509W shower/steam cabin, which was installed before we bought the house. We've been using it fine for the last 8 months, then all of a sudden one night, when we weren't even using it, the whole power tripped. We narrowed it down to the shower cabin and have left the fuse out since. We then popped the fuse in last weekend, and it was fine, so we've been using it all week, but then the power just tripped again, and again it was the shower cabin at fault :(

I'm trying to pull it out so I can have a look to see if there's an obvious place where water has leaked into somewhere it shouldn't, but I'm concerned about the waste hardware becoming damaged. I've pulled it away from the wall be around 15cm, but now it's stuck, and I'm not sure if it's just one of the concealed feet stick on the edge of a floor tile, or I'm about to destroy the waste hardware.

Anyone ever fitted something like this could give me some pointers?

Cheers in advance,

Carlos...

These showers are designed to be free standing and movable from their location should you have need to replace anything. ALWAYS USE Flexible braided water inlet pipes at least a metre long (not central heating plastic type! )

So provided it was installed correctly with flexible hoses it should be OK to move it far enough to see when the flexibles are becoming taut.
( unlike a similar one that was plumbed in with rigid pipework )
 
I would have thought that the electrics were accessible without having to pull the units out. No access from the control panel?
