ACS Vesuvius does not refill steam boiler after descaling

ErtelM

Hi,
I’ve descaled the boilers of my vesuvius but after switching it on the pump does not fill the steam boiler.
The pump itself works as I can start the brewing as normal which also starts the pump.
Even the heater of the steam boiler tries to heat the (non-exisiting water) as the heating control lights both switched on (I immediately then switched to steam off to prevent a damage to the heater). So it looks (for me) like the machine is not recognizing that the steam boiler is empty although all cables are connected again (I think correctly).
How can I find out what is going wrong there?

Many thanks and Kind Regards
Marco

ErtelM What connections did you remove to do the descale? What was the descale process?

DavecUK thanks for your answer!

I’ve double checked all connections and they are correct. Now I’ve set in the settings the fill level to low and then the pump started. Then I’ve switched the boiler heater back to on and it works. After pulling some hot water and steam even the refill worked. Now I’ve switched back to the standard fill level and it still works. I can’t understand but happy that it works!

I only have now one point where some water drips (hard to explain it in English for me-it is where the thicker pipe connected to the valve for the pump and on the other side connected to the overflow of the steam boiler and to the front). But at first I have to wait till the machine is cool again.

Thanks!
