OK – looking for some help / advice from those knowledgeable in dishwashers. Recently replaced a 10+ year old Electrolux ESL-424 integrated slim line dishwasher with another “graded” Blomberg LDVS2284. The old one was getting very noisy. The problem I seem to have with the new one is...

Thanks Chris Firstly the expansion vessel in brand new today, because yesterday it showed a pressure of only 5psi. I cannot honestly see any signs of a leak. I will look again, but really all appears dry. Do I take it that the photos posted are nothing to get really worried about. Is...

OK I spoke about green / blue scale on pipe unions. Here are some images. Yes they look bad but they are all bone dry. Is this something to worry about on a 10 year old boiler. Is it scrap ? Thanks again all EliTom

Ok topped back up to 1.5 bar about 20 mins ago and closed the inline valves on the chw flow and return. The pressure is now down to 1 bar !!!! So I guess his says the leak must be in the boiler. Maybe I should call Ariston / MTS Group tomorrow? Anyone any other ideas to check before...

Very valid point - off to do that now - at least the hot water should work Thanks EliTom

Hi thanks for the tips. However without wanting to appear ungrateful for any help, the Ariston Installation and Servicing Manual states that the system pressure should be set at 1.5 bar. The operating pressure in the tech data in the same manual states 2.5 bar. That is the conditions this...

Sorry should have said that I have put a receptacle under the overflow pipe - nothing there - bone dry. Also the pressure has now fallen to 0.5 bar from 1.5 (heating was turned off) Any other ideas please? tia EliTom

Hi - first post here so hopefully I have done it right! Hopefully someone can give me some tips or guidance with this one. Basically have a 10 year old Ariston EuroCombi SX 20 Mffice boiler and all was working fine until I took two rads of the wall to decorate. The rads valves were...
