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.


As the valves tend to be sealed you cannot get to their innards. I believe
that the water pressure is used to shut off the flow. Would it be possible
to electrically open the valve and back flush it somehow???
