My artisan is leaking water and both gauges have condensation on them. Help

Question edited for clarity and add maker '(what it is)'.
Question moved from Refrigerators.

I recall that ours did this. At the front underside they is a small removable hopper that is the first part of the drain. Make sure it is correctly located and level.

Or, call the installer back. Rational telephone help is also very good.

Are you sure it's not the AC condensation dripping ?

The gauge is old fashioned with a gas filled bulb and tube. They have 2 problems; the gas leaks out when they get old or the needle can come loose on the centre pivot in the gauge. Check for loose needle first, if not that replace the gauge.

Relay will be fine if you fix the real problem. Get some new seals (5 of them) into the steam boiler and check for leaks from the teflon tube at the top of the steam boiler. When you have it apart tip it upside down, you will be surprised how much hidden water there is.

Hello,

when the car overheats, is there still water in the radiator?

If there is water in the radiator and the car overheats, then it means there might be some dirt or blockage in the radiator or condenser.

When the car is on the motion, air passes through the front and assists the fan to cool the engine. There are situation whereby air doesn't have free flow because of blockage in the radiator and condenser. Dust and debris can cause blockage. If this be the case, have your radiator washed thoroughly and cleaned.

If there is no water in the radiator when the car overheats, then there is a probably a leakage from the water pump. Or maybe your fan isn't blowing properly. The fan might be blowing weak air.

The above are what could cause your engine to over heat.

So start the check from the radiator. Poor water into the radiator, wait for some minutes, look under the car and observe if water is going to leak. If there is a leak, it might be from the water pump or a leaking hose.

If water from radiator has no leak, have your radiator washed and clean the condenser has they might block air that is suppose to cool the engine.

Also, make sure your fan is blowing properly or well enough to cool the engine.

Make sure you have the above checked thoroughly as they are the major causes of problems like this.

This overheating problem could lead to a burnt gasket and this can dry the engine oil which will eventually knock the engine. So have this problem fixed to prevent further damage that will cost you more money.

Lastly, remove the hose that connects the radiator to the engine, water from the engine will come out. Pour water into the radiator, the water will flow through the hose down to the ground. Do this severally. Now connect the hose back to the engine, pour water into the radiator. Start the engine, the water in the radiator will reduce, add more water till radiator is full.

In summary, the major cause of over heating problem is from the radiator, fan, water pump, blockage in the hose, and dirt in in/on the condenser. These are area you need to concentrate on.

I forgot to mention that the acceleration meter or engine meter on the dash board shouldn't be more the 5. It should be below 5. If it is above 5, it can cause overheating. I hope you understand what I mean.....

Regards.

This water is most probably condensation dripping from the airconditioner. This condensation is formed by the warm air coming in contact with the cold A/C. No need to worry about it. Run the vehicle without the A/C and see if the "leak" stops. If it was engine coolant it would have been green or brown in color(assuming your coolant contains antifreeze)

leaking water? or refrigerant?

if water i would suggest a good sealer/adhesive to seal any cracks in the drip tray, and ensure all pipework insulation is intact and replace as required...the cold pipes can condensate and sweat giving water problems...

if refrigerant, you will need to have:

im presuming all the gas has leaed out hence no reclaim equipment

Blow torch/Oxy Acetalyne rig
Nitrogen Oxygen free
Vaccum Pump
Refrigeration gauges
Refrigerant suited to unit
Braze
Leak detection spray
torr gauge
scales

You must be adequately competent to carry out such a repair!!!

1, Pressure test and find leak using leak spray
2.vent system of Nitrogen
3. braze broken pipework
4. repeat 1 and 2
5. if no leaks found vaccum system out with vac pump to suitable torr
6.charge to required weight

like i say only a professional should carry out system repairs.

all the best

The water leaks all over the floor instead of running into the water containner. if that is right then your condenser drain pan tubing is blocked or the pan is rusted out that cause the water leaks all over instead of running down the tubing into the water containner . You've to dismantle the panels to get into this condenser drain pan to have a good clean out . Hope this will help . God Bless.

if you have water out brewing without handle with coffee, than you check this 3 things:

1. how fine is grinded the coffe, is it too fine for your machine?
2. does pump make enough pressure to brew your coffee(you can measure if you attach an gauge to handle or steam pipe.
3. by any chance your boiler security valve opens too soon and dont let pump to get the needed pressure. (perfect pressure is from 7 to 9 bar)
   

Hello!
If leaks only on drying, then it might be the condensing system, maybe the fittings of the condenser on the drum got loosed. Remove the back panel and inspect after leaks on the left side where the condenser is.
