You say a 1994, is it the new or old model? Does it have a roof aeriel for the radio or is it on the back quarter panel? If its the later model, the heater matrix can be done without removing the whole dash, its a bit tight but it can be done. The cap on the thermostat housing is a bleed...

Hi all, My sons just moved into a flat and has one of these boilers. It has been switched off from electric and gas for a few months, ot the leccy and gas switched on, had to top up the system pressure a little (it was still showing 1 bar, so no total leak issues), pressed the reset and...

HI All, Ok, drained the boiler as advised, fairly easy, although i did find some water still came out when i took the flow swicthes out, so have some towel ready. Both swicthes had some black 'crap' on them, so i cleaned them and also the pipes they sit in. Put back together, refilled...

just an update, not had time to drain the boiler yet, prob going to wait until the morning now, just in case anything goes pear shaped! will let you know. thanks

Hi Mike, thanks for that info, will be trying it in a minute. I guess the elbow started leaking as for most of its life it stays in one position, then when it gets moved all sorts start happening. Used to happen on cars all the time, explaining it to a customer wasnt easy!! will let you...

Also, do i need to drain the boiler to clean/replace the flow valve? If so where is the drain plug for th boiler and how do i fill it back up many thanks

Hi, Thanks for that, I decided a minute ago to just clean the flow switches anyway, left my office (always cool as near outside door) and found the heating was on in the rest of the house! I checked the boiler and found that it was running at nearly 2.5Bar (on the line between the red and...

Hi All, It would seem that unfortunatley I am cursed with one of these boilers, although to be fair, apart from the temp sensor needing cleaning a couple of times, ive not had any problems to date. Anyway to the issue... Started boiler on central heating around a month ago, and its been...

Hi All, Posted on here a few months back about my dodgy dishwasher that wouldnt heat. After some great help from sleepyhead, I pinpointed down to'probably' be the circuit board in the control unit. Although the heating element was also a strong possability. Anyway, after weighing up...

HI, got the PCB out, can see the 2 terminals which connect to the element. Where do you think the dry joint may be?

ok, will try the heater test. can you give me an idea where the pcb is? do you know if its easy to get to? cheers

thanks for the help. Any idea where I can get a manual or spec etc for one of these, may b able to check the element current whilst running. thanks wayne

Hi, took the lower front cover off and can see all the components. the heater element and temp stat (i guess, it has 4 terminals, 2 with same colour which show closed circuit) Both components show closed circuit. I did spot a wire hanging off the heater element, it ws only the green yellow...

hi, thanks is it accessable without taking the whole dishwasher unit out do you know? I have taken the plinth off and cant see any wires or components on the underside. Should the continuity tests show closed circuit on both components? Thanks again wayne

Hi, thanks for the info, thats sounds about right, can you give me any information on where the stat is and how to test it etc? I dont have a manual for it. Any help on testing the heater element etc, would be great thanks Wayne

HI, I have a diplomat ADP8132 dishwasher that doesnt seem to heat up, the cycle starts ok, but sometimes faults out with 3 lights remaining on. and it never seems to be very hot. It will also sometimes juts keep washing and not stop for ages. Any ideas? Thanks Wayne
