I have fitted my new jacuzzi bath where my old shower used to be. I have taken the power supple from the shower (as my new shower will not be electric so I don't need it) and want to use it to supply the electricity to the jacuzzi pump. The wiring from the shower goes direct to my main...

[/url] Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I am no washing machine repair specialist and have no special tools, just my mechanics tools. I figured the heater may have been at fault from your descripition above hance replacing it. I'm not sure what an NTC probe is but needless to say I didn't...

I have a Hotpoint WF541 washing machine which just keeps going when set on pretty much any programme. I can set it to spin and it spins and set it to pump out and it pumps out but if I put it on a full programme, it never stop and doesn't reach the spin cycle. I thought it was a problem with...

Good news is I found the heater and have replaced it. Bad news is the problem is still there. I don't think it is related to hotter washes now, it just seems to be on most programmes it won't stop running. I can set it to pump out manually and it will. I can set it to spin and it spins but...

Thats great info thanks. I'll have a look in the morning. :D

Thanks for the reply. Do you know Where abouts is the heater located? Thanks again

Hi I have a Hotpoint WF541 washing machine which works perfectly at lower temperature washes. But if you set any wash above 60 degrees, the machine just keeps going and never stops. In my mind I would think the fault would be the heater element which appears to be part of the pump. Any...

Thanks Agile :) We have very soft water up here in the Manchester area. I have lived up here since 1992 and never seen any lime scale build up on my kettle element as used to happen alot where I previously lived in Lincolnshire. Is it still likely to be lime scale? The whistling is...

Thanks for that, I'll dig the contract out and have a look.

The whistling is coming from the boiler itself. Thanks

Sorry I forgot to mention that when I drained the system, two of the raditators didn't drain properly as when I bled all the radiators on refilling the system, there was no air in them. Does this suggets there is a problem with the thermostatic valves (which were all open when I drained the...

Hi guys My Chaffoteaux & Maury MX2 boiler whistles when the central heating is on. I have a British Gas contract and have had them out several times. Each time they have been unable to cure it. When I complained a different engineer came out and said the noise was caused by sludge in the...

I have a Caffoteaux and Maury MX2 boiler. The boiler pressure fluctuates from 1 bar when cold to 2.5 bar when the heating is on. Is this fluctuation normal? Thanks

Thanks alot for the replies. I'll have a go at turning the pressure down this weekend. Plummerman The TRVs downstairs all affect the pitch of the whistle but didn't stop it. However one of the bedroom TRVs stopped the whistle altogther when I turned it off. But I opened the TRV again...
