Technical description: Low Water Pressure
What causes the Zanussi F1 fault?
This fault occurs when the internal water pressure drops below the minimum level required for the boiler to operate safely. The most common reasons are a slow leak from a radiator valve or pipework, or a loss of air pressure in the expansion vessel which helps regulate the water volume.
This fault is frequently seen in autumn when the heating is first turned on after summer, as thermal expansion can highlight existing slow leaks or pressure drops.
DIY fix possible
Locate the filling loop (usually a silver flexible hose with one or two blue handles underneath the boiler).Slowly open the valve or valves until you hear water flowing and watch the pressure gauge.Close the valves tightly once the pressure gauge reaches between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
