  • VBM Domobar Jnr leaking

    Hi all,

    I went to turn on the coffee machine this morning and notices a brown puddle under my Domobar Jnr. I have just got home and pulled it apart, there is some surface rust around on the walls around where the plastic water container sits hinting at water sitting somewhere. I pulled the sides and back off to discover that under the boiler has been leaking a rusted. Ive attacked photos.

    Ive pretty handy, but can I just buy a new toilet and install it? anything I should be wary of, anything I need to know?? Or should I take it to a repairer??

    Any help is hugely appreciated!!

      It’s about 4-5 years old. Otherwise is really good condition regularly cleaned and spotless

        I don't know that machine at all but, I think it's safe to say that while you can certainly buy a new toilet you'd have a hard time fitting it into your machine.

        Have you identified that the leak is coming from the bottom of the boiler, yes it certainly looks like it from the picture. Try bringing the machine up to pressure with the sides off and see where water is escaping from.
        Warning - Do not stick fingers or tools in machine with the power turned on!!!
