Broken my mother's shower.

[SteamyTea]

The shower worked fine this morning.

After a day if painting, I went to use it.

Pressed external button, water flowed, but did not heat up (combi boiler). Then the water stopped.

Blue light is still flashing.

Tried sucking in the pipe, nothing seems to be moving.

You broke it 🤷‍♂️, hot water via the combI at other taps?

@joe90

Yes, all the rest works, even the similar shower in the next room.

I have a distant memory that it has done this before.

Almost as if something has got in the pipe and blocked it.

Odd thing is, can't turn it off.

Should be a filter inside where the flexible pipe fits the “valve”, worth checking?.

If it runs off the combI then low power so probably wired off the ring main (but I would have put an isolator switch).

I think you have to find a way to turn the power to the unit off and back on to reset it.

If in doubt, turn the whole house off then back on.

 

How do you adjust that?  or is it a "dumbed down" (safe) shower that won't let you turn it up too hot?

I shall go looking for a switch, or something in the consumer unit.

No idea if it limits the temperature, hardly used this shower.

Not a house I have been in much, until recently.

No, still flashing after turning the only MCB that says Hot Water.

That probably feeds the boiler electrics, parhaps turn a ring cct off and see if it stops!

[SteamyTea]

Seems most advice for these Aqualisa us to turn it off and on again.

Shall do they I  the morning when my mother is asleep, and not watching murders in Midsomer (filmed locally).

 

The blue light is doing a short, then medium and then two long flashes.

Or a long  then short, then medium then long again.

Can't find anything on Google about flash codes.

Easy fix.

Give a Tim almost 500 quid and he goes into the loft with a black box, comes out later with a dirty black box.

Trying work out when in was fitted, probably 25+ years ago. So no real complaints.
