REMOVING THE CONTROLS ASSEMBLY

In the unlikely event of either a sensor or PCB failure, it may be necessary to replace the controls assembly. If 

this is the case then the unit must first be isolated mechanically and electrically, and then drained down by 

slackening the top inlet and system valve nuts, allowing any water in the internal pipework of the unit to drain 

out. Once this is done, the controls assembly may be removed by following the steps listed below. 

CLEANING THE SOLENOID VALVES

Over time either or both solenoid valves inside the unit can become blocked up with limescale or debris and 

this can affect their operation. The most common indication that a solenoid valve is blocked is a steady flow 

of water constantly passing through the unit and out to drain.

To diagnose which of the two solenoid valves is blocked, when the unit is still passing to drain it should be 

powered off completely. If the unit continues to pass then the normally closed solenoid valve in the top left of 

the unit will require cleaning. If the unit stops passing when powered off then the normally open solenoid valve 

directly above the tundish will require cleaning.

To clean the solenoid valve(s) and stop them passing, the unit must first be isolated and disconnected both 

mechanically and electrically. The wiring cover at the bottom of the unit is held in position by a single screw 

which can be removed with a PZ2 screwdriver to give access to the terminal block where the unit can then 

be disconnected electrically. Once fully isolated and disconnected both mechanically and electrically, the 

unit can be removed from the wall by unscrewing the slot-head bolt on the topside of the unit and lifting then 

pulling the unit from its backplate.

With the unit removed from the wall, the steps detailed on the following page will explain how to access and 

clean out both solenoid valves.

Unscrew the two retaining screws on either side of the front of the 

controls housing until they are extended enough to be able to grip and 

pull the control assembly forward and clear of the unit, ensuring not to 

pull it too far as to damage the wiring still connecting the controls 

assembly to the main unit.

Unclip the two push-fit connectors holding the sensors to the pipework 

fittings.

This is done by depressing the orange retaining clip on the push-fit 

connector inwards and then pulling the connector and sensor away 

from the pipework fitting, which should be clipped into a slot in the front 

casing to hold it in place.

With both sensors disconnected from the pipe fittings, the ribbon cable 

should then be removed from the back of the controls assembly. Once 

this is done, the controls assembly will be completely detached from the 

main unit and the above steps should be reversed in order to refit or 

replace the controls assembly back into the Mikrofill 3.

Care should be taken when fixing a controls assembly into the main unit 

to ensure that the two retaining screws are not over-tightened as this can 

damage the PCB and / or plastic casings.
