electric shower stopped working

Redsquigy

I have a Triton T90si electric shower that stopped working mid shower today. Had the builders in almost 18 months ago who installed it. Have had problems with it dripping non stop on and off but it just stopped today. Rang builder before but he said the plumber had no receipt for it as he had bought it in some shop. So no guarantee. Triton came out and looked under it for the date stamp and they said that it would not be covered anyway because it was an old one so would have to pay. I am out of work so have no money to pay huge bill. Would it be an electrician or a plumber I need? Have no idea what is wrong.

Thanks for that - it seems motor is gone - had a plumber look at it (he friend of my son) and he said it probably better to replace - seems I'll be smelly for a few days so!!!:)If I can get hold of builder he'll be paying:mad:

According to yout first post it is now 18 months old. There is no warranty on it. I doubt the builder or any body else will pay.

ask joey the lips a regular on plumbing forum, sounds like just a motor

Thanks for all your replies I have now replaced the shower - unfortunately had to dig into my hard earned bit of savings. Never mind I am all squeaky clean now:P:Pand hope this one will last a bit longer at least I have a warranty now.:D
