What does it mean when your electric shower stops working?
My electric shower, Mira Go 8.5, has suddenly stopped working. It was fine the day before. There is power to the unit, but the orange light comes on when you pull the pull main cord on, and the light stays on whether the on/off button on the unit is pressed on or off. No water comes out.
Why does the shower light not come on?
The red light on the shower does not light up and the box on the ceiling with the pull cord is switched to on but the light is not on. During the initial problems, this light seemed to be fading. Over the last week or two, our shower started acting strange.
Why does my shower trip off when I Turn on the water?
If the trip to the shower goes off when you turn the shower on, then this is most likely because there is either a detection of water in contact or there is a neutral to live contact. If there is any type of bad contact on the electric wiring causing the wiring to heat up, then this can be another way to cause the electric to trip off.
What should I do if my bathroom light fixture is not working?
If the GFCI does not reset then the GFCI outlet may need to be replaced. If the GFCI resets OK then see if the bathroom light fixture is working. If not the GFCI still may have a problem – maybe. Bathroom light fixtures are not required to be protected by GFCI unless the fixture is in close proximity to the bathtub or shower.

Why does my diynot shower have no power?
Check also screw terminals are tight as this could cause shower to work intermittently. Failing that check security of cable connections at the shower and for voltage present. If all of the above is OK then it is not the electrical supply, it may be the shower or lack of water pressure causing the problem. Thanks for all your replies.
