Did It spray water round

 

[boiler43]

small amount of water on floor under l/h side front no more than an egg cup full when working... loads of white hard powder on door seal now cleaned off.. no sign of any water spraying out anyway.
looking under at pumps and stuff everything looks pristine all wireing looks clean and tidy like new.

would it stop and wait untill water temp reaches temp or does it run and warm up during programme.

When you press start it fills up on the side then sprays water around if it don't do this then the circulation pump has had it. It heats up as it washes.

 

[boiler43]
