Meaco DD8L

[Jamie Dundee]

One of my Meacos has started leaking, not the water reservoir as have swapped with another machine and the fault remains. Water still flows into the reservoir but also ends up with a pool on the floor. Has anyone come across something inside the machine which leaks? All clean and parts fit as they should.

I vaguely recall reading about a slightly clogged drain - where the water emerges from the machine.
Or the following may help

Evening Jamie, I had the same issue, if you remove the water reservoir, and look inside the area where the water tank would be on the top centre area you’ll see a black circular plug about the size of a 20p piece. It can be loosened off and tightened up Mine was loose and needed tightening up as water was leaking out of here, running across the top of the reservoir and outside the casing all over the cabin floor.
Hope that makes sense. I’m going down to the boat tomorrow so will post you a picture to show what I’m on about.

As above, also clean every nook and cranny with an ear bud.

Great, thanks. I’ll check it out in the morning ?

Thanks for the photo, unfortunately it looks nothing like mine which is strange. I’ll have a look in my other unit but the the tank area in mine is as per attached pic. I’ll get a better photo later but it is very different.

Better pics.

We use one set to continuous drain over winter. It has to sit at the right upright angle to drain. Pipe exit should be slightly lower iirc

Jamie my apologies, looks like I’ve got the different model to you, still a dd8l but I’ve got the Zambezi which explains the difference in photos. Hopefully someone else can come along and help after seeing your pictures….

No worries at all, thanks for your help.

Nothing to add but I’ve got the Zambezi one as well so watching closely.
