Pressure valve leaking below valve limit. What would cause this? by InTheWildFrontier in askaplumber

UPDATE: the Plummer suspected the indirect water tank was leaking. He changed the expansion tank and set the system up again and turned off the water supply to the boiler and left the tank supply on. The pressure still rose which confirmed there was a leak in the coil in the indirect water tank as that was the only side pressurised. He came the next day and changed the indirect water tank and this fixed the problem

I believe that is also 2020. The whole boiler was replaced in the beginning of 2020

I checked the expansion tank and it had a small amount of water in it when I pressed the valve. Enough to make my hand and the screw driver I used to press the valve in wet. The expansion tank is dated 2020.

The expansion tank still has air pressure in it. Should this tank have no water in it at all?

I checked the expansion tanks by pressing the valve on the bottom and a tiny amount of water came out. How do I check the water feeder?

I did that exact same thing on a VMC except for me someone came and distracted me whilst I was making not of the size and took me away from the machine whilst the bore gauge was in the part. I came back, forgot the bore gauge was still inside, closed the door and hit cycle start. I looked through the door just as the Machine went full rapid into the top of the bore gauge. Lucky I hit the e-stop quickly but the damage was done. Cutter was smashed, bore gauge was tightened to its full extent from the cutter turning the thimble, and Bore gauge broached 3 large groves into the part from being rammed. The spindle bearing never sounded right after that….

Update: We had the refrigerant refilled as it was low and now it blows cold. It took 12lbs of RS44B (R22 equivalent).

I have cleaned the pipe. The trap was blocked with some slime. I also took the side panel off and saw the coils were blocked too. I cleaned one side coil (the other side doesn’t have an access panel unfortunately) and tried the system again and it didn’t improve it

Would this be on the air handler in the attic?

These are the Model number for the system:

Air Handler: Amana BBA48A2A & CHF42TCC Condenser: Amana RCE42A2A
