Hi, I have an intergrated Neff dishwasher (model s5443x1gb). Once we choose a programme and close the door, the machine drains any remaining water then starts to fill with water (apparently making all the right noises...inlet pipe feels like its pumping water into the appliance/water gushing...

Thank you. :D

Hi, Just sanded and varnished the floor in the dining room and the wooden legs on the chairs are leaving scratch marks. I know of the felt pads you can buy but have been told that these pads will keep falling off. Is there anything else out there or any tips for this problem? Or is it a case of...

Tony, SUCCESS :wink: Both the CH and DHW are now working as it should. I bled the system once more this morning and done as you said re: switched from CH to DHW 30-40 times for 20mins or so and then also run the tap while the boiler was on. The pin doesn't appear to be leaking and it's a lot...

There is no air coming from the AAV. I have run the boiler from CH to DHW several times and rebled the sytem to clear any air. As for the diaphragm, there seems to be more slack in it than I would've imagined should be there, it's very soft and I would have guessed it to be tighter? When I push...

I have refilled the sytsem and bled the rads, topped up again and bled once more (just to be sure). Also opened up the pump screw a few times during the process and release air each time until now nothing comes out. Then tried to fire up the boiler but its still the same. Is there anything...

Do you think it could be the pump not working to its normal capacity?

Hi, I took off the pump and a piece of rubber the size/shape of a half penny piece fell out. I also found the screw on the diaphragm to be a fair bit loose, so I have tightened that up. Thinking the problem should be sorted, I refilled the system and tried it. The pin still failed to engage the...

I started a new thread because I wanted to check something with you first so I left a reply on Monday and checked the site for any feedback and didn't get any. So I assumed (wrongly) that my original thread was lost/forgotten amongst all the new threads. I am new to this Forum thing and ask...

Hi, My boiler is an Ideal S28 system boiler. My problem is the DHW isn't working, CH is ok. Both the motorised valves on the CH and DHW seem ok. With the help from some good people on this site, I have managed to spot the problem but... With CH on, call for DHW and the boiler shuts down. If...

Tony, Thanks for your advice. I shall now check to see if this sorts it. :wink: But forgive me if I sound like an idiot... would these potential faults also prevent the CH from firing up :? I have just rechecked the test using the plastic rod pressing into the flow switch. It took the boiler...

Tony, The boiler does fire up when I remove the flow switch and set the system to HW as you suggested, with the switch pressed. There is no resistance on the pin in any of the senarios..HW only/CH only/CH+HW. Gary.

Thanks for your replies... The boiler is an S28. I have never had a system boiler before now, just moved into this house and there it was! I didn't realise the DHW wasn't heated by the boiler but now you mention it, it makes perfect sense. as I do have a cylinder right next to it (and an...

Hi, I have an Ideal mini S28 System boiler. the problem I'm having is the CH works fine but if i press for DHW, the boiler cuts out. If I call for DHW only, the boiler fan/pump starts and the motorised valve starts. But just as you think the boiler is going to fire up - Nothing. When I put the...
