triton amber III shower cycling hot/cold?

I have a Trition Sambada shower that i have had for approx 2 years maybe earlier than that though. I now have the problem of it cutting out after about 8 mins. what could this be and if there is a thermostat type cut off can it be bypassed

the solenoid valve was another issue ok.
showerhead not at fault.
the inlet filter must be ok if the solenoid valve was changed.

so my next step would be to check the mains stopcock or any iso valves to the shower.
if all ok.

if all ok i'd check the bottom tco (thermal cutout)
is their any visable burnt wires etc round the bottom tco

it does it with the shower head off too. is tco the thermal cut out? and is there a top one as well as a bottom one? solenoid valve was changed because the shower wouldn't switch off! that problem has been solved with the valve change.

why was the solenoid changed ? that won't cause that problem.

the shower is cycling on the bottom tco when on high setting.

try it with the shower head off.
whats the condition of the bottom tco ?
