thanks libby, i'm now looking at getting a new machine. cheers

Hi Guys, I just cleaned out the calc filter (located at front of machine). It was totally gunked up. I cleaned up all the water and stuff and put on a wash load. I noticed a strange noise coming from the drum on spin. I'm assuming it's bearings on the main drum.. I've now got a thin layer of...

Thanks GasGuru,.. after running the central heating for half an hour the problem has disappeared !!! it's likely to resurface again at some point so better start thinking about changing the part. Shall I just replace the diaphragm or the whole diverter valve assembly? I'm thinking about the time...

Hi Guys I got an oldish (2001) Worcester Bosch CDi Series Combi. Worked well, recently changed logic board & gas valve thingy. This evening the Hot Water stopped working for some reason. The Central Heating still works!! But when I turn on any of my hot water taps the tap light does not come on...

Thanks, but am I allowed to do it myself if it is my own boiler? If I get a Gas Safe engineer in how much will this job cost me (excluding the part)?

Right, i've found the replacement part (which is an electric fan for the flue) http://www.uk-plumbing.com/worcester-24-cdi-fan-87161214560-p-34584.html Anyone know if you can / allowed to self fit this part? Is it a difficult job? How long & how much will this cost to fit by a boiler...

By the way, the manual says it resets after 5 / 20 minutes. Mine won't reset. I even turn the power off completely and then back on again .... wait for 20 minutes or so, then turn on a tap... Still nothing. The boiler just won't fire.!

Thanks guys, so it sounds like it needs a service / clean / oiling etc.. Rather than a replacement part? okay, i'll call the boiler man tomorrow. Thanks again. R

Hi guys, as the title suggests I have a problem with my boiler. after turning it on for the first time (for heating) since April or May I discovered a light whistling sound coming from the unit. over the past few days the sound has got louder to become a very noticeable whine. This evening...

Hi I have a Siemens HB70550B Single Electric Oven. Had it for just over 3 years and came home from work and noticed the clock was off. I checked the cooker switch on the wall and the little orange light was still on meaning the main fuse in the consumer box was still okay. I switched off and on...

Thanks again Rocks.

One other question, do you know where to get a replacement rubber seal from? It goes right round the opening and the door closes against it. Over the past 3 years the plate rack rolling in & out has rubbed against the rubbers on either side causing a weak spot in the seal. On the odd occasion I...

To think I was on the verge of calling out a plumber or even contemplating a new dishwasher!!!! Thanks again.

Thanks very much Rocks, I did what you said and indeed the water came pouring out of the base. I held the machine tilted back until all the fluid stopped coming out. I let the unit stand for a while, rechecked the salt pot ring making sure it was screwed down tightly then switched it on. It...

one last question before I pull it out. When I tilt the dishwasher where is the water (that's trapped in between machine housing and softener unit) supposed to go? Is it not a sealed unit? The water you speak of (pouring out towels to mop up etc) will be the normal waste water from the waste...

do I remove the water waste hose and water mains hose to drain? Thanks

Thanks Rocks, That would make sense because I was refilling the salt reservoir when the cap was on so tight the whole thing turned slightly when I tried to unscrew it. Eventually it came off and maybe some water dribbled down inside the gap between machine and softener reservoir. So you're...

Hi, My Dishwasher suddenly stopped working. When switching it on the first light flashes intermittently and I hear the motor humming but it will not fill with water. Any ideas why? Cheers.

Brilliant!! Thanks Chris.. that did the trick. So, on the cooled down/cold boiler I should fill it up to about 1 bar? What happens if it goes slightly higher? I think I filled it to 1.2 or just over.

Hello all, I am no plumber but have always managed to at least top up the pressure on every boiler I have owned. Just moved into a new place and there is a British Gas Branded Worcester-Bosch CDi Combi. The pressure has dropped right down which tells me I need to top up the system. But all I...
