I did this last May and took about 40 pictures of the process. I’d be willing to share these jpgs. Is there an easy way to make them available to this group?

As to leaks—how many wraps did you use? There should be tiny print on the side of the packaging that tells you the minimum number of wraps for the yellow or white varieties. Probably 5-7 for the white, and 3 or more for the yellow, but have a look. It will hold. Also can use the paint-on stuff but you have to work really fast; you will only have a few seconds to make adjustments and tighten. best, bmc On Nov 23, 2018, at 13:43, Arman <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi Mike, I'm currently doing exactly that. Couple of threads earlier I had exactly that "pump doesn't go off" - issue. I have received the sparepart yesterday and have just replaced the thing (literally an hour ago). I ended up removing the first boiler completely in order to replace the solenoid. Otherwise I couldn't get to it. Also take a lot of pictures before taking the thing apart so you can remember exactly how it goes together., e.g. I had to adjust my new sparepart to look the way it should. It's not that hard to be honest if you start with removing the boiler immediately (I have wasted an hour to try to get to it without removing the boiler). When removing the boilder be prepared for a decent amount of water coming out :) Now I have successfully replaced it and the issue is resolved - however there are 2 connections around the solenoid (Labyrinth) area that are leaking now. I have used teflon band but looks like that's not enough. So I'm looking forward advise here as well :) good luck Arman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
