Neff S5456X3GB/24 Dishwasher Side panel leaks.

[Twoten]

Looked at the above dishwasher, found the float chamber blocked causing the problem. Lowered the ‘heat exchanger (215761) down so I could remove the chamber to clean. Rebuilt the machine to find the ‘heat exchanger unit’ now has a leak.

On further investigation I find a really small hole in the plastic sheeting side of the chamber.

Having looked at the price if a replacement ‘Heat Exchanger’ it might be handy if it can be repaired rather than replaced.

Can anyone recommend the best way to do a successful repair on one of these. I’m tempted to try a n instant puncture repair patch but thought I would see if anyone here has found a better solution?

Araldite epoxy resin I should think would suffice?

…or perhaps a ‘Blue Peter’ moment with some sticky-backed plastic? 😆

After chewing the gum to stick on the hole it gave me time to contemplate the situation.

I scratched up the surface with some emery paper to give a better key then used some thin plastic sheet similar to a plastic motor cover and stuck it in place with Fernox LSX.
LSX is great stuff, it sticks to wet surfaces like the proverbial to a blanket, remains flexible and will withstand freezing/boiling temperatures.

Now all I have to do is keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the suggestions.
