Hi it's a Series 6 Free-standing KGE49AICAG

Hi I have a 6 month old Bosch fridge freezer As if a couple of days ago the led right and led display on the interior are either not coming on, or coming on intermittently when the door opens. I'm guessing there is a proximity sensor /magnet type setup and possibly some obstruction. Any ideas...

Hi. I have a 16th century cottage and about to decorate on of the bedrooms. It has wooden beams at irregular intervals - typically 30cm-60cm spanning most walls and ceilings. Semi structural - and listed! Looking for recommendations to avoid paint splashes on beams as I'd rather be using a...

Thanks! I've already got 2 cats that certainly help!

Hi Have a 1950s council flat with a series of internal doors needing internal locks replaced as starting the show age. Existing locks are 60mm deep with a 50mm backset ... Seemingly impossible to find. The faceplate is 75mm. Current available ones seem much shorter and would have nothing to...
