Re: Fixing leak – How easy?
Managed to drop the salt tank and swap the o ring. Now working without the leak.
Great, just saved a tidy sum.
Cheers for help.
Re: Fixing leak – How easy?
Ok, I,ve got the side panel off (without leaning it over) and have found the leak. Its from the bottom of the inlet matrix where it joins salt container. It looks like it just needs a new o’ring.
Question is, how do I remove the matrix? Do i have to unscrew the inlet from inside the machine? its very, very tight.
cheers
Re: Fixing leak – How easy?
Thanks for that. Was just going home to make a start.
Diplomat ADP8242. Hoping it is just a seal issue rather than a damaged component.
Re: Diplomat / Smeg Antiflood device (why didn’t it work?)
nope, it’s definately described as the antiflood device on the smeg website.
it’s like a plastic ring with spokes that connect to the central piece where the circular mass is. on top of all this sits a clipped on piece of plastic that holds a microswitch.

Thanks for replying.
There is no polystyrene. It seems that the device is self contained and only has a mass that would be lifted if something came through the tube from the sump area.
I did some more reading and it suggested that this could be more of a pressure device should some of the various water channels become blocked.Regardless, i think we’ll be getting a bill from the engineer in the next few days.
