    Welcome.
    In the morning I noticed a flood in the bathroom, the reason for the boiler. I'm inserting a movie. Is the boiler ready for repair or should I give it peace? How do you think? What to do?





    Thank you in advance for every answer.

    The first thing is to disconnect it from the power supply and the leak can be seen as if from the area of this indicator you could try to tighten it.

    Turn off the cold water supply, remove the plug from the socket. Loosen the bottom cover and try to locate the cause of the leak.

    Naturally, I disconnected right away. Underneath the power control knob is also wet and as if everywhere in the middle, but I have no idea, you can not see where this water is flying from ...

    Since there are no fairies here, first disconnect from the network, remove the cover and see where it is leaking, later we will "advise" you :D .

    The point is that calling earlier to one "professional" he for half a minute of the phone conversation was able to state that since it is leaking is a hole and a rubbish boiler and you need a new one. And I would prefer to try it with it ;)

    I did not look at the video, but this thermometer is not screwed, so you will not improve anything, and the leak is not always in the hole, only there is a hole in the foam insulating the tank, so it's easier to get out of the water.

    Unfortunately, leakage can be anywhere in the tank (usually on welding). Scraping foam and finding a leak is a lot of work and the effect is very doubtful. I would rather look for a new one. I have already mentioned it twice. Mostly after 6 years it rains ( one year after the guarantee) item art

    If it rusted from the top, it has a sieve inside.
