I have just purchased a new ECM Mechanika max and am looking forward to starting my journey!!

I got it out today and set it up and it was working just fine. Then I moved the machine to a new location in the kitchen and when I switch it on I get a very loud whirring noise and a message saying “bLr”. I have left it for a bit to see if it will sort itself but it doesn’t sound good so I turned it off.

Looking at the manual, I believe this means the boiler has run dry and now won’t run properly until it is connected to pipes connection as opposed to the reservoir. I don’t remember letting it run dry but I have spent so long trying to fix it I cant be sure.

First question - am I diagnosing it the issue correctly??

Second Question - is there a way to circumvent connecting it to the main water supply?

Third question - how does one connect it to the water supply? The feed hose they supply doesn’t appear the connect to any of my connections in the house? But I am no plumber, so please advise if you think there may be one!

Thank all in advance!!!

        Oh how wonderful, wish I was, I’ll look into it for next year.

            KentCoffeeKing it’s unlikely the boiler has run dry if water didn’t escape from it via the hot water tap or from a leak.

            Are you sure you didn’t knock he valve which switches between tank fed and mains fed, and the machine now thinks it’s needs to be plumbed in?
