The thermostatic cartridge is the part of the shower valve which control's the temperature of the water, therefore if there is a problem with the water temperature, the absolute probability points towards the thermostatic cartridge being at fault.

I would suggest you extract the thermostatic cartridge, remove any bits blocking water flow into the cartridge and then soak it in limescale remover. Put silicone grease on the O'rings. Install it again. If that doesn't work, the element within the cartridge could be faulty, so you could try replacing the element. If that doesn't work you will have to either replace the entire shower valve or replace the cartridge.

All of what I've said is based on the assumption that you are receiving hot water to your shower valve.

I've been working with thermostatic cartridge for many years and can tell you with confidence the above information likely applies to yourself. Shower Thermostatic Cartridge Spares

Turn off the water supply before you work on the control valve.

You need to remove the lever/handle first and covers so that you can see the stem of the control valve. Then, use a spanner to unscrew the stem/cartridge.

I have a manual with the error codes listed.
E3 is the error code for:
A. valve is "frozen" or
B. motor is unable to turn the thermostatic valve.

Either remove it and soak it in CLR (calcium,lime, rust remover) or fill a container and tie it to shower outlet in such a way that head is emersed in the CLR. You can buy it at pretty well any hardware store, or home depot. If you don't want to try that, use vinegar, and soak it as well, I usually try to do it at end of day when shower won't be used, then let it sit in solution overnight.

the little valve is your diverter control,sorry do not have a part # for you but it is easy to replace.i have seen them at lowe's /home depot . and if you still have hard ware store's in your area they should be able to help.

Easy way go to your local plumber or call...maybe take a pic.

Try replacing the cartridge first.That's your best bit . Next would be the whole valve. Hopefully, it's just the cartridge.
