Re: dead domobar levetta
Well looks like my VBM has suffered a similar fate, havent been using it as much of late, emptied the tank to put some fresh water in, turned it on and ran the hot water tap to check to make sure the boiler was full and to flush some new water into the boiler, everything fine, no real air came through and ran about 400ml through.
Was pacing around watching the clock and walked past and noticed the boiler light on but no sound, touched the head and wasnt as hot after 15min as i would of thought, watched a bit longer and light just stays on and remembered reading this thread a while back so used it as a reference and lift the tank the boiler light goes out, push the steam switch and open the valve and nothing happens
like yours Daz52 its just coming up to 4 months old, maybe a dodgy batch of elements because like you i follow the same procedure and always run some water through the steam tap via the hot water button on initial start up to check the boiler is full.
