Replacing the valve:
Allow 15-30 min - You will need Teflon tape and spanners to replace this.
- Make sure that the machine is plugged out 1st
- Remove silicon tube and ss nut
- Slide off the electro valve - (Take note of where the wires go if removing the wires)
- Remove both nuts holding the elbow fittings.
- Finally, remove the old solenoid valve.
- Remove the elbow fittings from the old valve: Fittings are glued with a thread locker, so you can use boiling water to melt the glue and make removal easier.
- Insert new elbow fittings with Teflon tape
- Put everything back and check for leaks
When fitting this solenoid valve - take note of the arrow - it should be pointing away from the boiler. See your old one, if you reverse the valve - it won't work and you will have redo it.
Suitable fittings:
- Elbow fitting 1/8"M x 1/8"M Fits on no.2 side
- Elbow fitting 1/8"M x 8mmM Fits on no.1 side - (We don't have this fitting - you will have to recycle the old one.)
Note: To prevent these solenoids from blocking: Descale every month - this can act to remove scale + minerals and metal particulates that can build up and block the 1mm opening in the valve..
