[QUOTE="Livsdaddy, post: 483597, member: 31566"] Hi all I know I’m cheeky for just joining and asking, but all my powers of logic are failing on this one! Electric shower was working fine for about 6 years, then last week it started cutting out, the power lamp would fade and flicker, or go out completely, then after a couple of minutes it would burst back to life. Occasionally during the outages it would make a low buzzing noise. I tried opening it up and resripping the cables, reconnected and still the same. We have always had mega water pressure (open the wash basin tap fully and it’s so strong it bounces off the basin and showers your face) and that’s still the case. So I took the plunge and went out and bought a brand new shower. And exactly the same problem! Cuts out, power lamp flickers, springs back to life! The power supply is on a 40A RCD at the fuse box which never trips out during the problem. Any ideas? many thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
