    Hi Clayside,

    sounds like the valve for the condenser is not working.Also check sump is clear of any blockages.Hope this helps. 🙂

    further to my last post, condenser itself could be gunged up and needs cleaning.

    You need to take the heater box of the top of drum and I think you’ll find the cause of problem….Fluff (9 times out of 10) also check to make sure the cold valve is letting water thru…
