triton t80s1 shower advice

[alim1]

hello all. my triton t80si shower stopped working, the pull cord switch red button is on, so there is power but when i press the on button on the shower unit, nothing happens and there is no noise or water coming out.

any advice will be great before i look at replacing it.

cheers

Is the power neon on on the shower ?

hi. there is no led light built into this unit, it only has a large button to turn on and off.

cheers

Then its not a t80si as that has a power neon and 2 dials.
Give us a pic.

hi. sorry, my mistake. there is a power light on the top of the unit and it does
light up when i put the power on with the pullcord. also, just to confirm it is a t80si. cheers

Then it will have 2 dials and a button ?

Now you are sure as you seem to be getting confused.

Have you a multi meter ?
Can you use a multi meter ?

 

[alim1]

can get hold of a multimeter, what should i be checking for?

 

[seco services]

With mains power off check resistance on solenoid coil. Should be 3.4kohms or above.

If no reading coils knackered.
If good reading then you need to turn shower on at pullcord and button and test for 230v at solenoid coil.

Let me know what readings you get.

And be careful if you test solenoid when shower on.

thank you very much, i will check in the weekend and post back. cheers

 

[alim1]

hello. i have now replaced the solenoid assembly with a new one and checked t.c.o with a multimeter and that is ok, but the shower still does not work. the neon light still comes on when i turn the power on but no water.

anything else i should check or scrap the shower?

cheers

 

[seco services]

Did you check the solenoids getting 230v as i said ?

 

[alim1]

hi. forgot to do that check, just done it and i am not getting 230v with the power and button on, i did check the mains cable to the unit and that is showing 230.

So it's more likely your on/off button faulty.

If you isolate the mains power at pullcord
Disconnect the on/off button multi plug and with the multi plug end in the shower bridge the 2 pins with a piece of wire and try with pullcord.
