Tritin Jade running hot and cold?

Recently replaced the solenoid on my "Jade" to cure a water flow problem. Everything has worked fine until last week when it started running "hot/cold". Information gleaned from "net" seemed to indicate Thermal Cut Out problem. Have replaced TCO but problem still exists.

Any thoughts or points would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for ur reply.

Have checked head & hose, both appear to be fine.

Is the part u refer to 83303980 & is there any way I can check the existing one before removal? If so what reading should I be looking for?

Did you replace the TCO on the top of the element assembly or the TCO in the outlet pipe. It may be the wires, which have a tendency to overheat on the one in the outlet pipe (that's the one right at the bottom where the hose attaches). If this is the case then you would be better off fitting a new outlet pipe. Also check for blockages in sprayhead and hose. Check that your water supply or stop tap are fully on. SWITCH OFF ELECTRICITY first.
