Hi Everyone

I could really do with a few pointers with this problem before my wife starts to really stink :-(

when we pull the cord to switch on the shower, the 5a main fuse blows taking out all main lights. this happens about 75% of the time when the cord is pulled.

i would really appreciate some advise as to where i should start, i have removed the down light with no change, so am i right in thinking that the shower unit is the guilty party?

The shower is a Galaxy 2000 lx.


Thanks in advance

Andy

Scarily ..It sounds like your electric shower is powered off the lighting circuit..

I know money is tight and times are hard, but I've never heard of a better case of "Get a Pro in"

(And it's not often you'll get that reply from me...)

It's only a power shower not the full monty electric shower which makes people think it's ok to do this

Sounds like you need a new shower preferably run from a different source

Mabee the motor has excessive buildup of carbon causing shorting power shower motors are rubbish.

Or even the solenoid has failed so the motors deadheading. Not my fave things
