Our Samsung Freezer model RZ80FDRS1/XEU is approx. 3 years old. Last year the LED display in the door started to lose pixels. I located the fault to the wire harness in the door where the harness goes through to the main body of the fridge. The opening and closing of the door and the...

The problem has been revealed. The washing cycle is interrupted by the worn brushes in the drum motor. The motor cannot handle high loads when the brushes are worn down. This stops the washing cycle. The culmination of worn brushes in the drum motor is a burnt out 32k Coreboard which costs a...

My Hoover washing machine starts a washing cycle and then stops approx 3/4 way through the cycle. As we use programme No 4 95% of the time and its this programme the cycle stops on we have tried programme No 6 and the washing cycle is completed. I think something in the time programme...

I have managed to remove the small screw holding the electrode. Had to use a mirror on stick and a torch to get a view into the back of the grill. Not much room for an arm/hand etc. A small pair of mole grips got the screw loose and the electrode insulator was removed and found to have a...

Rangemaster Toledo Cooker The igniter on the grill has stopped sparking. The cooker is approx 3 years old and all the other igniters spark ok. Had a quick look at the electrode and it appears to be secured by a small phillip head screw. Tried to remove the screw but the screw appears well...

My in-laws both senior citizens have a large victorian house, 6 bedrooms, with at least 14 radiators. The boiler came with house when purchased. I think the boiler is too small for such a large house especially as the water inlet is only 15mm. They have a maintenance contract with a local...

Just buy a new crapper? I thought my original post implied that I want to buy a new one. But one with a 90 degree bend instead of a straight outlet. Words mean many things to many people. :?: :?: :?:

My trusty old Armitage Shanks toilet is showing signs of wear on the internal bowl area. The surface of the china is rough and becoming harder to clean. The problem I have is that the original wc has a 90 degree outlet to the left which connects to the soil pipe. All the new wc bowls in the...

I have used my delongi range cooker, gas hob/electric oven/grill for over 5 years . Just plugged the electric oven into a 13 amp socket. No problems except for the delongi oven. Have now changed cooker for a Range Master what a difference!!!. The delongi needed 2 new oven control switches...

I want to move a cooker box and a couple of 13amp sockets about 20cm from the original locations. The cables are running in a safe zone in plaster wall and the cables are too short and have no slack. I do not want to rip out the cables back to the fuse box so what is the safest way to make a...
