Electric Shower Running Hot? Common Causes and Fixes

Please see below our recommendations for resolving the temperature issue with your electric shower. If none of the suggestions resolve your problem, you can book a service repair online. If your shower is still within warranty, please contact our Customer Service team by using the contact us form.

Start by turning the shower to the Medium or Eco setting and adjust the bottom dial by turning it down (by turning it anti-clockwise).

If this does not resolve the issue:

Try removing the showerhead from the shower hose (unscrews like a bottle top).
Drop the shower hose down into the bath or shower tray and run the shower.
If the shower runs correctly without the showerhead, it indicates that the showerhead is blocked.
Poor shower performance can be avoided by regular cleaning of the showerhead.

Please read our helpful guides here on how to remove a showerhead and how to clean your showerhead from limescale.



If this has still not resolved the issue:

Unscrew the shower hose and run without (only if over a water catchment area).
Please read our helpful guide on how to remove a hose.
If the shower runs correctly without the hose, it indicates that your shower hose may be kinked, or the lining has collapsed. We would recommend replacing your shower hose.

If the shower hose is not the issue:

Try turning the top dial to the Low setting and the dial below fully anti-clockwise to full cold.

Then very slowly turn the bottom dial clockwise, to try and reach a comfortably warm temperature, run for a few seconds before turning it slowly back to cold.

Next, turn the top dial to Medium/Eco and slowly turn the bottom dial clockwise to a comfortably warm temperature.
