This seems to be a common fault but I have not found a solution so here goes again. No water feed to flush out the conditioner. The tray is clean and the siphon works on testing externally. I would appreciate knowing why there is no water feed to the conditioner section. I have poked nylon...

Hi tiredengineer, Just about to post my problem when I saw this one. The washer is a FJ 1040 but the fault is the same; no water feed to flush out the conditioner. The tray is clean and works on testing externally. I would appreciate knowing why there is no water feed to the conditioner...

Hi towman. Do you use rince aid on dishes? As far as i know one tablet is used. I will check on this. About to do a wash after putting salt in. Thanks, flounder

Thank you nigeld. The odour on say glasses is very faint but there. Otherwise the dishes could be regarded as clean, or not noticibly dirty. Tonight we have loaded some salt in. Can't understand that if there is an effective rince cycle why. sometimes, this faint smell. Will try your...

Impeller blades missing due to foreign body. Bone or ceramic. Thats what mine did. Gradualy got worse until the water would not climb the bend :wink: _____________________ moderator post locked please note 20 20 ) Please do not add your question to an old post, it is called hi-jacking...

. Sometimes there is an odour on glasses more noticeable as they are under the nose ! On occasions there is an odour from inside the unit. All the functions seem ok. Opened the door several times to see if water is getting sloshed around. We are is a fairly soft water area and do not use...

croydon' "I never did discover exactly what had caused the (electrolytic) corrosion that thinned-out the cylinder." A corroded immersion heater and a current to earth, the tank, will do it. The tank becomes a sacrificial anode, even though it is an AC current! A 240 V Mains trip should...

A) Because it is intermittent and I don't like poke and hope. B) I though it might be a classic fault. C) I did not realise there were comedians looking in :evil: kev "if you are that good why post on here then". Perhaps you would be better answerering you own question :lol:

Thank you chrisR You clearly don’t know anything about my diagnostic capability. You probably would not know the difference between Murphy’s Law and Boyles Law, a poke and hope PC change this and that service engineer. Grow up and stop flaming. A positive contribution would be appreciated...

Thank you Racket. Sorry about the delay in replying. Thought I would do a classic resoldering job on the PC.! To my amazement it then worked for about two days then back to intermittency. I would really like to find the fault as I suspect that it is external to the PC. All the switches in the...

Can anyone out there tell me the “boot up” or start up sequence of the SIME 100 E. Recently fails to start up and the red light comes on. I think the orange light has come on sometimes. I can restart with the control knob and it could work OK for hours. When in the faulty mood I have sat by...

As I pointed out there is a variation of water temperature due to flow rate. This can be a problem with high volume showers, as another HW demand could have the shower thermostat fighting the boiler delivery temperature. This is solved by the combi heating a HW storage tank. Regards Flounder

Can anyone out there tell me the “boot up” sequence of the SIME 100 E. Recently fails to start up and the red light comes on. I think the orange light has come on sometimes. I can restart with the control knob and it could work OK for hours. When in the faulty mood I have sat by it, listening...

We have a small bugalow and a standard combi, Format 100e, which I am having some trouble with. That aside, it has been fine for four years. The main consideration in choice for us was the volume of hot water delivery for bathing for medical reasons. It is therefore a little high output for...

Thanks everyone. Theres the practice , never mind the theory :shock: My question to "masona" You are implying that it works for you. Assuming there has been a build up of scale do you think Do you think the conditioner would reduce the scale over a period? Await your comment with interest...

Quite simply .... Do they work. Ie. keep the pipes clean. There are permanent magnet types, dc current types, pulsed dc current types. Been in the electronic business for a long time, but I am still sceptical. Any opinions out there?

kevplumb. This is an interesting topic and could explain why my SIME sometimes will not fire up (red light on) untill the control knob is turned to ignite. Apologies for hyjacking this this topic by the way. croydoncorgi. Could my expansion vessel need re charging, and how could this be...

Somebody out there must have come across this one … Please give me a clue. This just stops firing up and the red pilot comes on. When the control switch is turned to 1 o’clock it fires up. It may function ok for hours then just stays off until the control knob is turned. Unfortunately I cannot...

It sounds like the boiler is beating the system. That is it is producing heat as it should but the heat has now where to go, so it the water jacket gets up it's temperture setting within a couple of mins then switches off. And continues to cylcle all day. I have come across this when there is...

If the control knob is turned to the 1 o'clock position it will fire up and keep cycling. But not always. Sometimes the knob has to be turned to the 11 o'clock pos' first. Getting worse. Can'nt find my circuit diagram. Hints about the likely fault, and or where I could get a diagram from much...
