@s8g2000prg.googlegroups.com, says... Before I shout at the supplier, has anyone any ideas why after use and
being empty (dry), it will gradually fill up with water even when
powered down.


Flake of scale in the solenoid valve. Take it apart and fettle it, or
replace with one scrounged from a dead machine.

Never knowingly understood.


Yes if it's some grit from the water supply or some scale that was
loosened by installing the new machine, which is now blocking the
inlet valve from completely closing, the supplier may not consider it
warranty?
However if it's a faulty inlet water valve one would consider it to be
the suppliers responsibility for the warranty period?
