Hi all Moved house recently and the boiler in my new place is giving my trouble when HW is selected. Been running the CH fine this week with no problems but if the HW is selected the boiler will occasionally lockout. Im never there when it locks out so im not sure if the fault occurs...

quick update, yesterday I removed the thermostat/lamp assembly and left it operating with the thermostat probe in the fridge instead of located in its channel that runs into the back of the unit. Now the fridge is operating at the correct temperature, from this I can assume one of two...

Hi, Recently moved house and working my way through a lot of small problems with the place. The kitchen has an inbuilt fridge/freezer part no TKR6600 made by Technik, though I have also seen identical whirlpool appliances on the internet wit the same part number. Problem is the fridge...

This is an Ariston unvented system installed 2004. Been runing aout a week now with no noticable problems. Still non the wiser as to why it was disconnected... oh well

Hi all, Just moved into a new place and have been rectifying the multitude of defects. One of which was a device fitted to the hot water cylinder called a pro tech anti corrosion system, which had a red light on. popping the cover off quickly showed that the problem was caused by one of...

Hi all, I have a glow worm Betacom boiler that has a built in analogue timer in the front. The ticking noise made by the timer drives me insane at night. The timer is set to the always on position as there is a separate wireless program/thermostat that controls when the heating comes on or...

I see a couple of fellas here have differing views on boiler installation :) I will be on a late shift in 3 weeks time, which realistically is the only time I can get people round for quotes, before then I was hoping to get an idea of what's involved and what products I should be aware of...

Thanks for the quick responses chaps. I'm sure there would be the need to modify the pipework as the chance of the new boiler having all the connections in the exact same position are highly unlikely. When asking for a boiler recommendation I guess I should have asked for boilers to avoid...

Brilliant, thanks. Weirldly I never even considered of looking on ebay for services

I currently have a Ravenheat CSI 85t condensing combi boiler that has been in use for maybe 10 years. The last few years the boiler has had some issues, one of which nobody seems to have much luck with curing. Its an intermittent fault which brings on the overtemp light. Changing the 2 green...

Thanks for the quick replys, what your saying certainly makes alot of sense. Assembling the units and the tiling are within my ability, as is moving some water pipes (fitted my bathroom last year but it took me 12 days :( ) My concern is that to advance my career im taking an exam a month...

Hi all, I'm planning on having a kitchin installed in summer and have a few questions about cost and opinions on big name suppliers. So 1. what is the usual pricing stratagy for kitchin fitters, do they charge per item fitted (eg cabinets) or by the hour? 2. my kitchin basically a...

Thanks for the reply the E-number is SGS43C02GB/43 Any tips on disassembling the dishwasher to replace the damgaed seals, as it seems that the base is non removable which is a shame as it would offer the best access

Hi all, Had a problem with my dishwasher (bosch classixx) where it would not finish washing and would run continually. Removed the back and sides to investigate and found a pool of water in the base of the machine. The machine was running continually as it had activated the anti flood...

thanks for the prompt reply, i have taken the auto air valve off and opened it up for a look, the mechanism is real sticky, maybe its the addatives in the system have gummed it up!

I managed to find a parts diagram for the boiler, the pipe on the top is for the auto vent. So its possible there is a problem with the vent, or is this a side effect of a more serious problem?

Been having trouble on and off with this boiler ever since i moved into this house. Today i woke to no hot water or central heating. there was some water beneath the boiler and upon futher inspection it is coming from ontop of the boiler. A closer look shows there is a small plastic pipe...

I've always been curious what is entailed in a boiler service. I figured the boiler not operating as it is supposed too meant that one of the componants is not working as designed and would need repair/replacement. My annual boiler service is not due untill feb, and i was hoping by...

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice (as im sure many will be now the cold weather is here :) ) i have a ravenheat csi 85 gas combi boiler. every few days the boiler stops working with a constant red light on and the fan whirring away. this happens regardless of of the boiler being used...

thanks for the prompt reply, the post is about 50mmx120mm so im thinking losing 5mm undercut would be acceptable. Its probably going to give the best result visually
