HA! FOUND THE PROBLEM! There is a float containing a magnet in the hot flow side that operates a relay switch which hovers in position when the pump is on and when the flow decreases it drops out of position and turns off the pump. This float is getting wedged in the small hole it is...

The flow rate for the cold is about 7 Ltr/min and the hot is 6 Ltr/min - this is measured with the showerhead off, pump off and full hot/cold selected respectively. When i turned the hot flow full on - nothing came out. It was only with a bit of hose shaking that the flow started. After this...

Took the whole door off in the end, hinge can be turned over to reverse but problem now lies with the door hinge locking bushel - these ARE left and right specific and have holes to confirm this. Looks like i will have to buy two from spares online - £16 for one seems a bit steep for a small...

Hi, was wandering if anyone has done this: I am looking to take the hinges off my fridge freezer and putting them on the other side so i can open the door from right to left. There are screw holes on the other side so it just looks as though i can unscrew and refit on other side. All the...

thanks for all the advice. Is there a noticable difference between the 837 and 937 in terms of hot water output in litres per minute? If i have to get rid of my power shower then i want something with a good pressure output - or i guess getting an electric shower may solve that. Am having...

Hi, i have an intergrated Whirlpool 7540/1 dishwasher recently it started not heating the water and would go through an entire cycle without throwing up an error code. After trawling through several threads and their suggestions it was suspected that the PCB/UCB was faulty. This was replaced...
