why is my electric shower shutting off?

Hi, my electric shower keeps shutting off after water flows for 2 or 3 seconds. I have just bought a new push button switch on the advise of a plumber but this is obviously not the problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Bathroom Appliances, Baths and Showers Electric Shower Water Flow Plumber

Hi, just wanted to let anyone else with this problem know that I have fixed my shower. My shower is a Redring Expressions 500s 8.5. I bought a MK2 Phased Shut Down PCB, part no 93550835 which was simple to replace - just clips in. Bought the part from, www.theshowerdoc.com, which is almost 1/3 cheaper than anywhere else. Also really fast delivery. Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for replying. Its a Redring Expressions 500s 8.5 shower. My boyfriend thought it mght be the solenoid valve too but I also saw that it could be the shut down PCB or thermal cut out but I have no idea.

if it's only the water flow stopping then it's the solenoid valve failed.
