Hi Tim I have just completed a rebuild of this tap, and I had the same as you, a random red wire, it turns out it is used, it’s connected to the ring if you look at the brass ring inside the stainless steel ring there is a notch with a brass wire crimp in it that’s where the wire was connected but it snaps off when you pull the ring off it’s not easy to reattach hope that helps👍🏻
Hi Tim, thanks for spreading the news. I hadn't found the time to translate the video. But that seems redundant now ;) Please give me a ping when the pcb's are in. My quooker broke once more. The microcracks turned out to be unrepairable. Cheers Chris
@@TimsElectronicsLab thanks for sharing. Quooker is so unhelpful ! They want me and many others like Me with the same problem to buy a new quooker service is so bad 😡. Looking forward to hearing more about the pcb you ordered. Many quooker owners will love a solution 🎉.
What is the best solution to use to solve stiffness of the lever? Is it to the completely immerse the dismantled part in cleaning vinegar? Ot use WD40? Glassex? Special fluids of oils?
@@TimsElectronicsLab I beleived there's grease or oil inside somewhere as well. Not sure of that's a good combination with vinegar. (And did I mention you're great taking the time explaining how to fix things? However: you're great!)
@SibeJanKramer it cleaned up very well on mine. By the way, you can take the coper insert, which the tap handle screws into, apart to clean it properly. Thanks for your kind response! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the instructive video! It's been a big help. After closer inspection, what do you suggest to be the best way to take the ring off? I don't want to break the plastic ring holding it in place.
Yes. You take it of by force and it sounds like you crack the black ring which is keeping it in place. Knowing now how it is retained, how would you suggest to take it off?
@@andreroodnat-f1z I just had a look at the remnants of my Quooker and there doesn't seem to be any broken plastic ring. I think it was just a bit calcic causing the sound
Thanks a million for checking Tim! I still wonder what keeps the boiling ring in place, to prevent it from popping off under normal circumstances. But if you got it off in one piece, that must be the way to go.
The black plastic ring which keeps the large metal ring in place can be removed by using a scalpel or thin knife at one of the ring ends (it is a splitted ring with approx 1 cm space between its ends). Carefully twist the knife to lift the ring end so that it can be moved free from the body. A pair of fine tweezers may help.@@andreroodnat-f1z
Hi, Great video! I have a Quooker where the PCB is broken. Im considering adding a simple switch for control, but I cannot find any pinout for the jack. Can you share yours? Cheers, Kristian
Dont open it when its not turning the Hot water. there is an easy fix to this. I am making a short video on that soon.

Hey, have you received any feedback from Quooker yet?
Yes I have, they won't supply another PCB. I've just placed an order for DIY replacement PCBs. I'll create a new video once those arrive
Thanks Tim, looking forward to the next video to see the final repair!
I've received the PCBs and they work, but don't fit yet. Update will have to wait

@arnolangevoort2141 well I haven't gotten the knob detection to work just yet. Still figuring that out, so everything will be delayed a little

I think that vinegar will work the best as that'll dissolve the calic

Kraan met stoom apparaat schoon gemaakt ,dat gaat dus niet ,nu ook storing .Heeft het zin om de kraan uit elkaar te halen en schoon te maken?
Ik zit met hetzelfde probleem. Al een oplossing gevonden?
Hi. Thanks for the Video. Can you tell me where i can find the Pinout?
You can find the pinout here: gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/2081612
Hi,
Great video!
I have a Quooker where the PCB is broken. Im considering adding a simple switch for control, but I cannot find any pinout for the jack. Can you share yours?
Cheers, Kristian
Yes! I've found one on tweakers: gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/2081612
