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. The coil (when working) lifts a plunger inside the solenoid valve and allows the water into the shower.

If your water temperature fluctuates, the pressure-balancing valve might be to blame. Your pressure-balancing valves open and close depending on your water flow in your plumbing system. This drop in pressure sends scalding hot or freezing cold water to your shower head.
The solenoid valve is usually the culprit. The coil in the part normally breaks down. When the coil is working it will lift a plunger inside the solenoid valve and allows the water into the shower. When the coil breaks down, the water stops running and that is what causes the electric shower to stop working.
One of the most common reasons for a Aqualisa Quartz shower unit to suddenly stop working is an air lock in the system. If you've experienced a power cut or have had to drain your hot/cold water tanks recently then an air lock is likely to be the cause.
Shower going hot and cold. Make sure that the shower head is clean and that the hose isn't kinked. Check the hose thoroughly- it may look okay externally but could have collapsed internally. The other possibility is a faulty flow/stabilizer valve not allowing the correct amount of water into the shower.

Shower won't turn on. It may be a faulty solenoid valve. If you have a multimeter you can test it- you should have a reading of at least k3. If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is not operating then there is a good chance you have a faulty solenoid.

Dear Betty: There could be a number of factors causing your shower to make a whistling sound. If you have hard water and don't have a water softener, the noise could be attributed to water pressure building up because the shower head is clogged or has calcified as a result of the minerals in hard water.
In summary, it is possible for your electric shower to run cold water and this happens because of a reduction in the pressure of water coming into the shower. This could be because of a situation in which the demand for water is higher than the supply or the heat canister in your electric shower is scaled up.
The Right Fuse for Your Electrical Shower. An electrical fuse is a safety device that cuts-off the flow of electrical current in a circuit when it is extremely high. Most of our electrical appliances have a fuse for safety purposes.
