Hi All,
Looking for some advice for an issue with my Vokera Mynute 20SE.
Good few years ago the expansion vessel and pump were replaced and it has been working since.
Over the last year its been losing pressure and then the reset light comes on.
Rightly or wrongly I have been using the fill pipe until the pressure went back to 1 bar then I would press reset and all would be well again for a few days.
Fast forward to today Reset light is not lit, Pressure is at 1BAR I can hear the pump running but it doesn't attempt to fire just sits in this state all the time.
I done some investigating and went to check if the expansion vessel had air in it and so I went to connect a bike pump to it but rather than air as soon as I unscrewed the cap it started pouring water out instead which wasn't right, So I put the cap back on and powered it off at the wall.
With it still powered off, I decided to attempt to re-pressurize the expansion vessel and so I turned the safety valve to let it dump all the water and contents out the emergency pipe outside so pressure was zero and there was no air in the schrader valve either;
Attached the bike pump and no matter how fast I pump it the guage on the air pump is not rising but when I disconnect it I can hear air hissing out of the boiler for a few minutes then it stops - press the nipple and it's empty . Does this mean that the expansion vessel it buggered or could it be something else? I thought initially it could be the fill valve but if I disconnect the bike pump after trying to fill it for a minute and cover the valve totally with my finger I can still hear the air hissing out at a slower rate somewhere down the back of the boiler somewhere.
Any ideas what I can do now or is the vessel had it? Also see that the vessel is out of stock everywhere.
