[QUOTE="Mr Sworld, post: 7747, member: 184"] Hi. Welcome to the forum. :D First off, what load does the shower pull? What size is the cable and fuse for the shower circuit? It's common for householders to go out and buy a 11kW monster shower to replace an old 7-8kW one but not think about upgradinging the size of cable and fuse. Some showers have two elements in them. So one element may be up the creek, you'll have to take the shower apart and megger the elements to see if there is a short on one of them. Check for melted wiring and overloading while you are there. [/QUOTE]
