Hi guys,
Got a weird situation with my Worcester combi boiler...
A few weeks ago it started dripping from near the left-hand side. Couldn't see any sign of the leak, so suspected that it was deep inside. Got about half a cup of water per day.
Anway, as the pressure was very low I topped it up by inserting a small white key into a slot underneath just off centre of the boiler. There is also a small square nut which I had to turn in order to hear the filling sound.
Anyway, about a week later I decided to top it up again as it was still dripping, but this time I left the key in situ. For whatever reason, the dripping stopped - nothing. Not even a drop.
I removed the key again as a test, and it started dripping again.
Can't see how inserting / removing the key would cause water to drip from several inches away. Although the key fits snuggly in place I can continue turning it both left or right. There doesn't seem to be "stop", even though I can see both locked and unlocked padlock symbols.
Is there a clever guru who has the answer?
Best regards,
Pete
