Hi Guys. My Whirlpool FRBB36AF20/02 SBS Fridge Freezer's Ice Maker has stopped working. The water dispenser is still working and the LCD panel isn't indicating any faults. Pushing the dispense lever starts up the motor ok, but no ice is forming in the tray. When it last worked, the water...

I have an electric shower fed from a cold water tank in the loft and the pressure is pathetic. I've got a varispeed 50 shower pump which can pump two supplies (hot & cold). As I've only got the cold water supply, can I use this pump or not (e.g. by only connecting one supply / cap off...

Hi all. My mother-in-law's shower is in need of a boost. A new shower has been fitted but it retains the same poor performance as the old one. The house is fed from its own well with a submerged pump. The water is pumped in to an overhead tank, which has two outlets - 1 direct to the...

So the hot water supply to the mixer tap is red hot, but cold when the water comes out of the tap? If that's the case then your mixer tap is faulty and only letting the cold water out and thats warming up because the hot water pipes beside them are red hot. What I suspect is actually...

I stuck the meter on the cable contacts and got nothing whatsoever. I've ordered a new element

Evening all. I got home from work to be told that the cooker has stopped working. yippee, cold tea for me. Specifically the main oven isn't working (top oven/grill/hobs are fine). Its a Hotpoint EW51 Electric fan assisted oven. When you switch the oven on, the fan starts but the "on"...

Hi guys, I know this has been asked before, but previous posts weren't exactly the same as mine, so I thought I'd ask before I replace the PCB. I have a Baxi 105e boiler which has developed the flue/fan error light when hot water is demanded. It fires up ok at first and the fan is...

After fixing the problem with my boiler and then the washing machine, the dishwasher appears to be seeking my attention. When running a cycle, a grinding noise can be heard coming from the lower left corner of the dishwasher. No fault codes are evident and its washing the dishes as normal...

I used a small electric heater on a low heat setting sat outside the freezer with the door open. The heat wasn't enough to damage anything but enough to speed up the "natural" defrosting process. The only problem with the hot water solution is that if the ice build up on the roof of the...

hi guys, I need to pick your brains again. I have a Zanussi FL1081 washing machine which is about 12 years old, but has served me well so far. Last week it was filling with water, processing the cycle, but not draining (even when set to Drain on the dial) after which it promptly leaked a...

No plan, just the parts in a plastic bag. I figured it out in the end. All done and working normally with no more leaks! Thanks for the help.

Ok, so I have the new diagram, gland & gland seal fitted. But the kit also came with a very small O ring, which wasn't in the assembly I removed which suggests that it might have corroded away completely. Can anyone tell me where it is supposed to go??

At £14 vs £75 I think I'll try the kit first and clean up the assembly. If that doesn't fix it I'll replace the assembly. Is £75 a normal price for the assembly?

Does it come as a kit with other parts? I'm not having much luck finding it on google.
