    image.jpg image.jpg We have a triton shower unsure of the model.
    Using the shower as normal and now it won’t turn off.
    we’ve turned off the main water source so the water is off and the screw in the centre of the shower handle is off.
    However we still can’t fix it what shall we do now I’ve attached pictures of what the shower handle looks like.

    Does the left knob just turn water on / off ? What diverts water from Flexi hose to fixed head outlets ?

    If that's what is revealed after removing the chrome knob that turns water on / off ,remove the whole valve by the hexagonal nut. And post pics . You will probably need to source a replacement valve ,but it may be serviceable.

    The chrome knob will turn but I’ve tried plenty of times and it won’t come out. What do you mean by the hexagonal nut?

    The hexagon shape ,just beneath the brass splined shaft ( that the chrome knob slides onto).

    A plumber has told us he might be able to repair it tomorrow, thanks for your help. In the mean time will the fridge and freezer stop working if the water is shut off at the mains?

    No the fridge and freezer will continue to work normally they have nothing to do with it unless you shower with the fridge..
