Hi, the water from my shower does not not trigger my boiler to turn on and heat the water most of the time. This problem started a few weeks ago (the shower worked as expected with heated water coming through before that). Every other faucet in my flat (including the faucet in the washbasin in the bathroom my shower is in) triggers the boiler to run and then hot water to run through.

Anyone know what might be causing just the shower to not connect to the boiler, and how I can fix please?

Thanks
 
Make/model of shower and a clear picture would be useful.
Could be as simple as a blocked filter on hot shower feed.
Sure, please see attached pictures of the shower and the boiler (both when it's heating - other faucets, not the shower, and when it's not heating anything).

What's the best way to unblock the filter on the hot shower feed please?

Thanks

Try running the shower without the head, and if still no joy without the hose. Might be worth checking the Hall effect sensor on the boiler is operating.
