Tefal GV8980 steam station - Does not deliver steam, water to the iron

Hello

The steam station does not supply steam or water, the solenoid valve clatters when I press the steam generation button, you can hear the steam station turn on every now and then, once it shows the lack of water, the second time it does not, I unscrewed the plugs, the iron began to release steam constantly, constantly and water was flowing from it what it never happened. Adds a photo of the inside of the steam station

Below is the rattle that comes out of the steam station, link on YouTube

Sounds like the water pump has failed.
But is it worth reviving this invention? Investment in the pump and the quality of the device predicts failures every 2-3 months.

Yes, I would like to resuscitate them, I need ceme e50301 en 15240j4, I dismantled the station and such a number. server showed up. I found this pump on a French site, but without the part marked in the picture, can you tell me what to do with it?

But what's the highlighted part for?
Part Part Number

CS-00129469

I found a pressure pump on a French site without the part I marked and I thought it was something else, because on this page it is marked as a pressure pump for a coffee machine

No no no.
These pumps are widely used... In this case, the important issue is power. 47W.
You can use e.g. number AT502529100 just from probably an espresso machine.

Can I order a pump like this? I see the same manufacturer, and calling this store this morning, the lady informed me that there is no replacement ...

Hello. It often occurs in pumps, or rather in the part at the water outlet from the pump, clogging of the water outlet from the pump inside the white one, which is marked in the picture, is rubber, as if the valve could be a rubber ball or a mushroom, unscrew the last part and unscrew the nut from the inside in the shape of a cloverleaf or if you prefer a cross, there is a spring under it that presses the rubber mushroom. They can stick and clog the water flow and thus water intake. You can try to give compressed air to the pump entrance, sometimes it helps to unclog the clogged rubber of the valve. Just drain the water or the hose Unplug at the outlet. You can easily check if it is clogged by blowing from the water intake side of the pump. It should have some resistance, but with stronger blowing, air should appear on the other side at the outlet. If there is no resistance, the spring is broken. Suspension of the spring depends on the pump model.

well, it doesn't take water from me, today when I started it a little bit, something started to happen, but immediately a puddle of water under the station was made, because the iron was dripping quite heavily from the bottom holes from which steam should fly

Was the iron hot? Because if not, it's the norm. There may also be a valve at the boiler outlet in the open state, i.e. there may be boiler scale in the valve. Sometimes, when it does not work, I tap it and then the descaler starts.

this is how the iron heats up, it reaches maximum power without any problems

Well, check the air flow through the pump, if there is resistance and then it releases air, it's ok, the pump will feed water and if water is leaking all the time, this valve at the boiler outlet is open and should turn on after pressing the button in the iron's handle. it's the one in the black rectangle where two or three wires come in.

and I will add that the water shortage indicator does not light up, even when I remove the water tank

And shouldn't an empty water tank be inserted, there is probably a magnet there? Only not upside down to check it is supposed to stand like to work on legs.

and what is the best descaler to buy, maybe it will also help me

I bought boilers in 5-liter cans from a stoneworker, but you need to dilute them because they will etch the soleplate of the iron and eat the plastics. The pills must be dissolved and only then poured into the tank, otherwise the waterway may become clogged.
and then, after feeding, rinse the device a few times with clean water, because the ironed items will have holes.
You can and vinegar but then it takes some time.

Each time you press the steam shot button, you hear the valve but no steam shoots every few minutes of continuous pressing, steam shoots

For there to be steam, the boiler must heat up and the foot but I think that this valve is getting stuck or there is a stone of vinegar pour and pass through the iron, they press the steam button every now and then.
Does that mean the pump is working?
One more thing before the vinegar reaches the boiler, it's a long way, you have to drain the water from the boiler when it cools down, otherwise the paws in the bubbles will be, and thus the end of the job.

Cy could you give me the part number of these 2 parts, I will replace them and see what happens.

I can't because I don't know.
On these parts you have the numbers of the pump when you buy it and so you need to replace part of the outlet nozzle.
I wrote that you should first check the operation of the pump, you have almost everything from theory to repair, I repaired stations and very rarely had to assemble new parts, usually cleaning helped.

I just poured vinegar and now the valve has stopped working, you can hear the pump giving pressure, the vinegar disappears from the tank, it is empty, the indicator of the lack of water is not lit (which surprises me). I press the steam button on the iron and nothing, yesterday it was the other way around, when pressing the button on the iron the valve worked and the pump turned on very rarely, now the pump works every now and then and the valve unfortunately does not

He collected the garbage after knocking lightly on the valve and pressing the steam button at the same time. Maybe you need to dismantle the steam valve and blow it out, you can do it with vinegar, the boiler has a stone inside, you can pour it through the drain plug, wait to pour it out.

What's next?

Sorry for double post but worth asking.

Hello, I am only now available, unfortunately nothing helped, and the steam station is getting stupid, once it clatters as I added the video, the second time nothing happens. Even when I turn on the steam shot button, then it responds to the button but nothing happens, possibly without pressing the button steam flows through the station all the time ...

Because it is still clogged, it does not work as quickly as there is a stone, it sucks it in and clogs it all the time.

I poured a few bottles of vinegar through them and nothing helped, and the smell in the house unfortunately lasted 2 days.

A clean boiler must be started with it and poured with a drain plug, there should be no dirt, maybe the vinegar is too weak and a descaler is needed.

But where do you get ideas with vinegar? I do not believe that anyone has descaled a steam station or coffee machine using vinegar, ace or other banana juices.

It is worth investing PLN 2 and buying a descaler that will not smell and work ...

Naturally, we do not pour it into the water tank, but through the hole in the boiler.
Naturally, we do not let it pass through the foot, because tefal feet are so durable that they will not survive descaling Pour the descaler into the boiler, heat it up a bit and leave it for two hours. Unscrew, pour out, rinse in a similar way with water.

The minimum is PLN 10 you have to give for 250 ml of liquid stone.
But it won't work without it.

Cost PLN 1.20 in Auchan.
