Ariston A1636 Inlet Valve

[watermeade]

Hi,

During the recent cold snap my machine got iced up as it resides in the garage and when I took the lid off I noticed that the external hose connector and the actual valve body had parted company due to the pressure of the expanding ice,fortunately the valve body had a thread on it so I was able to connect the hose to this,unfortunately it froze up again and as it had nothing easier to break it broke the valve body !!.Fortunately I was able to get another 2nd hand one from a local supplier,but I am unable to remake the connection between the external hose fitting and the valve body.I have tried using a glue gun which leaked,so I then ran some clear bathroom mastic round and then re glued it but it still leaks.So my question is has anyone any idea how to rejoin these two parts,OR another new part that would screw onto the valve body and project through the hole to the exterior of the machine allowing me to couple the hose up.

Regards Rich..

no cure im afraid

they broke even without the freezing

the only answer is a new hopper assembly, with a different valve
