    Anyone know anyone in Galway who tests electronics?
    I've a pump for a shower that stopped working, done all the usual testing, fuses, checked resistors.
    Capacitors look fine, no burnt electronic smell.
    Anyone point me in the right direction?

    Have you tried hitting the pump with the handle of a hammer while supporting the body of the pump with your hand?
    You do NOT want to disturb the pipe joints which might cause leaks, so support it well.
    Have the pump switched on while you do this so you will notice if it begins to rotate.

    Pumps sometimes get stuck if unused for a time, and this can free them.

    It's a combined pump (hot and cold) so there are two pumps, neither kick in so I'm sure it's an electronic fault.
