I removed the top part which was full of limescale build-up. Cleaned out just the top part and its still coming out of the pipe.

Last try tonight will be to remove the entire boiler and check all pipework. If that fails its time for a new one

I did think it was a pipe to release excess steam to stop the boiler exploding. The pipe just connects to a plastic prong on the base.

Im wondering whether its worth removing the boiler and giving it a clean or any limescale?

Re: Help with Steam generator iron

Attach3ed are some pictures I took when I took the main unit apart. The clear pipe highlighted is where steam seems to be coming out of.

Is this an overflow? If so, does that mean there is a block somewhere that steam is coming out of this?

Thanks

as far as the steam is concerned could be pump, element , thermostats, pcb or switches but since it does not look as though they are available its scrap

find kenwood and ring them to check

Hi

Thanks for reply

Managed to get it kind of working, issue ended up being broken plastic cover switch.

Issue I now have is that steam is coming out of the main unit as well, which is from the pipe from the top of the boiler

Re: Diplomat 60/40 fridge freezer not cooling

Model: apm6012

Freezer is cold, but fridge sometime gets down to 4deg, other times 12-16deg

Where is the hole/fan when the cold from freezer is circulated to fridge

Re: Diplomat 60/40 fridge freezer not cooling

Managed to get a digital thermometer to check the temp

The freezer was -16.5deg and the fridge was +11deg.

Re: Diplomat 60/40 fridge freezer not cooling

It is Unlikly to be any other fault on this model.

If you fit a new module make sure you have It set to maximum before turning the power back on otherwise you may think it is not working.

If you turn the module on after the power it has a delay of about 10 minutes before it will start

Bob
Where can I get the module from and how much are they?

Re: Diplomat ADP8322 or another?

The cooking products come from a variety of different sources and vary from excellent to cheap and cheerful – if you know what models you are interested in, we may be able to advise further.

Don’t know much about fridges, I’m afraid.

hi

I went back today and all the cookers were sold.

Looking at the stats for the dishwaasher its rated B B C. Also is the motor a big expensive job?
