Why Does My Electric Shower Keep Switching Between Hot and Cold?

Troubleshooting

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 or contact our Customer Service team by using the contact us form.

Please ensure there is a sufficient water supply to the shower and that your stop tap is fully open.

Turn 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.

Next, turn the bottom dial back to full cold and the top dial to Medium/Eco.

Then, slowly turn the bottom dial clockwise to a comfortably warm temperature.

If this does not resolve the issue:

  • Remove the showerhead – Unscrew the showerhead from the hose (it comes off like a bottle top).
  • Test the water flow – Lower the shower hose into the bath or shower tray and run the shower.
  • Identify the issue – If the water runs correctly without the showerhead, this suggests the showerhead is blocked.
  • Prevent future blockages – Regular cleaning of the showerhead can improve performance and prevent poor water flow.


For detailed step-by-step guidance, check out our helpful guides:


If this has still not resolved the issue:

  • Unscrew the shower hose and run water through (over your water catchment area, i.e. shower cubicle or your bath). Read our helpful guide on, how to remove a shower hose if needed.
  • If the shower runs correctly without the hose, it indicates that your shower hose has a blockage where it could be kinked, or the lining has collapsed.
  • We would recommend replacing your shower hose. You can view our range of compatible shower hoses here.
