Got up late today, flu symptoms meant I didn't feel too good. Hope it's not swine flu...I'll be pig sick if it is.
We had left the heating on .14 last night but it didn't come on...or rather it did but the radiators didn't. SWMBO wanted a bath but she couldn't get it very hot
Pressure, thought I. It was down so I cranked it up to about 2 Bar...Combi boiler.
I noticed the small extension on the back of the kitchen was all steamed up....strange !
She went in an found the floor covered in water. It was coming from under the washer so I pulled it out and could hear water being injected round the back. The red hose was hot.
Isolated the pipes and took them off. They're ok, both hold pressure.
Concusion....the metal unit inside the machine, which controls input, has been frozen up, split and leaked when the thaw came.
Am I right ? I know little about the workings of these things, although if I have the part I can generally fix it.
It's a Whirlpool, not very old. I'll take the back off when my hands work again and have a look.
There's nobbut owt wrong, what wi' meither and clutterbucks !
Ted
