Ok, so i have a mains unvented hot water cylinder with a Gloworm HX system boiler with the usual 2 honeywell zone valves. All of which is controlled by a Danfoss twin channel programmer. Central heating zone valve not opening when on demand. So i checked voltage on synchron...

Dodgy flow switch membrane. If your allowed to take the case off boiler see what the flow switch is doing. That's the brass manifold with 4 stainless screws on it, left hand side. It's got a spindle in the middle that pushes on a micro switch to commence ignition sequence. F.F.S........for...

But don't worry girls this songs not all about you Cos some of you blokes are bitches too Seriously though, in that there video I could swear I saw the muppet fluxing the fitting! That's like 90% of the flux being pushed into the pipework. What a waste and potential corrosive problem...

Does it work in central heating mode?

Depends on your definition of what noise is. How acute is your hearing? A dripping tap can keep me awake :-/ Phone the doctors just in case There's voices coming through my speakers

Turn off water supply to cistern. Use a bucket of water to flush. Amazing how much water can be saved this way. Who's going to be arsed to fetch a bucket for every slash. THINK ASDA

Definitely PCB issue. May as well replace the thermistor as per course as it will be out of calibration if boiler not serviced for 2 hrs minimum and cheap as chips. No brainer really. Every other Isar/ Icos I come across is PCB related. Maybe an expensive part but definitely cheaper than a new...

Twin and earth it is then! Why do they make instructions so damned technical Iam hearing voices through my speakers

Has anybody ever wired one of these new Worcester room stats into a Greenstar combi boiler. I have been told by Worcester that I need to run a twin screened cable with a minimum 0.4mm. They called it data cable. Exact spec is HO5 VV None of the regular electrical suppliers like City...

If your changing it to a pressurised system make sure the boiler has an overheat thermostat fitted. Should have if only 3 years old. Where are you going to run the condensate pipe? Are you going to have boarding all the way to the boiler? Is there permanent lighting up there, and the all...

I cant thank you enough Zipper for guiding me on this one. A seized/faulty synchron motor on the back of the timer has caused the 6.3amp to blow. These synchron motors we use in heating diverter valves and cost about 10 quid. Unfortunately they are slightly different. i have tried to...

Thanks again Zipper, i think we may be getting somewhere now. 12 digit code is: 85754800100 Not sure how to test this main switch. If you can help wit would be great

Cant see a 12 digit service number anywhere on machine ive just rechecked continuity through main switch and when you press the switch it has continuity through the 2 blue terminals. but as soon as you release the switch, continuity drops out sorry i cant be of help with service number

Thanks zipper, the exact model is: 3RAWZ480EMQ3 I have a feeling that it may be a faulty main switch but iam unsure how to test this. Theres no continuity through any of the terminals. Should there be any or is it a resistence check i should be carrying out? As i say the door switch is...

My sisters heavy duty whirlpool tumble dryer is not working. When i say not working i mean nothing happens at all. Ive had the top off of it and 240 v is present all way to timer. The door micro switch seems to be ok. I want to be sure it is the timer before splashing out on a new one as...
