Turned the tap off & after an hour or so with a fan heater on it water is flowing again. Phew! Thanks again guys.

Thanks for the advice guys. I can see the valve opening & closing when I turn the blue tap & can see down it at least until the elbow in the white plastic pipe. The nut attaching the valve to the copper pipe is very stiff so I can't loosen it. I'll pop a hairdryer on the bits of the pipe I...

Harrumph. Well I've taken the top off & the thing which is buzzing/humming is this: However, am I right in thinking that water isn't pumped into the machine, but it goes in under pressure from the mains? I've taken the inlet hose off the mini stopcock (image below). I guess it's turned...

Hi All After 4 years of faithful heavy usage my Bosch 1200 is playing up. No water seems to be pumping in during a cycle. The drum is turning & spinning fine, just no H2O. There is a humming/vibrating at the top left of the machine where the water inlet pipe goes, so I guess something...

Hi All I'm having a bit of trouble with my central heating system & hope someone can help me! I live in a 6 year old property which we bought 3 years ago. Since we moved in we have only been able to get CH when the HW is on. I though that this was how our system worked (my old flat was...
