Thankyou for your reply.I imagine the steam is running for 30 seconds can can check that tomorrow morning. Yes water is running at normal rates just not as hot as it should be. Techies just fixed a blockage and told me the machine was fine. It has been working really well till today..
well i thought the issue might be a stuck anitvac and when you turn on the machine it heats up a bit and then when you open the steam wand it blows out a few seconds of steam and then the steam stops and the machine turns back on to keep heating up.
its a common issue... and my 1st thought
you could lift the lid right now and see if its stuck "up" give it a push if it falls in it was stuck. (turn off the power and unplug 1st please)
no drama looks like this (or simliar) will be on top of boiler (normally) maybe on top of a joint to steam arm.
there will also be a bigger over pressure safety valve leave that alone. they look a bit the same (sort of but not)
you might just need to push it very lightly and it will "drop" down about 5mm (middle bit), then tomorrow when the boiler heats up and steam pushes it closed and builds pressure.
touching it and pushing it a little bit will not cause it any drama.
if it is the issue it may stick again tomorrow when you turn off. do some CS search on antivac its common... my sisters Faema has the issue currently
Blaagghh!!!!! no good!!!!!. Some other symptoms. ... Firstly it is dripping near the water level site tube... and..... it has a high pitched sound when getting water from the GH.... and...... water out of one GH is a lot hotter then the other.
put a cup under each group (same size cup) and run both groups a once does the slower group fill the cup a lot quicker?
You had a "Tech" work on it? what did they unblock? they may have removed a jet and this would give you a fast flow with lower than necessary tempereature
They are both equal flow, I should have picked techies brains more i got the impression the block was near the water supply..may be of track completely.
Thanks for that tek. I still have one working group so will think about it and keep this thread open and keep reading....Must be someone out there who knows.
Cheers.
OOHH The high pitched squeal went away later on in the day but the water still warm
