Hi everyone. Haven't been on hear for ages - busy with other things etc.
I am hoping someone here can help me out regarding a water leak on my machine.
Started noticing a wet bench under the ECM a week or so ago. I've taken the back/sides off to try and see where it is coming from and have located the leak coming from the boiler, where what is what I think would be the boiler element. I have been looking for an exploded diagram online but haven't found a clear one. I "think" that there would be a teflon gasket and a copper ring behind the flange when the leak is. It only leaks when the machine is off overnight, so either the pressure when on seals it up again or heat expansion.
As I live 3hrs from Melb and 5 from Sydney, dropping it to a repairer becomes a bother with freight and being without my machine for probably a week or more (Nooooooooooooo!). So, if that has to be done, so be it. But if it is something I can fix myself that would be great for both time and cost.
So, is there anything I need to be wary of by undoing the three bolts and replacing the gasket and ring? Am I dreaming that I could do this or would it be fairly straight forward? I'm no technician but not totally hopeless.
I'll attach a pic to show what's going on.
Thanks snobbers.
