Not heating
In hard-water areas like Essex, elements get covered in scale and burn out. The photo above is a real element we replaced. A failed thermostat, contactor or safety cut-out can also stop it heating.
Not draining
Check the filters and the drain hose for blockages first. If it still won’t drain, the drain pump has usually failed or jammed.
Not filling, or overfilling
Usually a faulty inlet (solenoid) valve, a blocked inlet filter or a pressure switch problem.
Before you call
Switch it off and turn the water off if it’s leaking. Take a photo of the data plate and any error on the display, so we bring the right parts.
