I have a Redring 650 9.5 kw Shower Heater. In the past year the solenoid on the water inlet valve failed, and was replaced. It happened a second time, and now a third. Before I replace it yet again can anyone tell me if there is a fault elsewhere causing this to happen. Any advice would be...

My present boiler is a Glow-worm Ultimate 50BF. It does Central Heating only, 11 Rads, on two floors. All Rads have TRV’s - Expansion tank in loft - Very simple programmer which I really only use as an On/Off switch. No Roomstat. DHW is by Economy7, which I am happy with and...

Hoping someone can help me, dishwasher stopped mid-cycle, all LEDs dead. There is water in the bottom of the compartment, if I empty it out with a cup it refills and then the float valve shuts it off, so there is electrics to some parts. I have checked the door switch - all OK. Then examined...

I recently overhauled the Diverter Valve using a Repair Kit. All went well and worked OK afterwards. However I had some parts left over which I assume fitted in the rear part of the valve. I tried to unscrew this part ( see picture ) but was worried about causing damage. Does this part...

Boiler is fitted in the garage, a few weeks ago in the cold weather it froze up and the EXV split apart. Boiler stilled worked OK but strangely enough it wasn't till today that the water flooded out. I intend to fit an external vessel to the Return just below the Boiler. My question is - The...

The boiler works OK, but it has a small dribble from the screw on top of the AAV. I have turned this screw down to stop the leak. I assume it should be open a bit to allow the AAV to operate. Is this so ? Any advice would be welcome. Ian

Hi I have just part drained the system to disconnect a radiator and fit it in a different position in the same room, the water that drained from the radiator was rather mucky. After refilling and venting everywhere I find that although the CH works OK, the DHW does not. With the boiler...

Glow-worm Ultimate 50 BF - Boiler supplies a pumped Heating system only. The Thermostat does not really control the temperature, even when on the minimum settimg the Flow temperature is very high. I replaced the thermostat but it made no difference. Would appreciate any advice on the next...

I have a Grohe EAU2 Cistern (2-years old) which occasionally runs non-stop into the Bowl. Most of the time it works OK, but then it will run all the time. To stop it I press the flush button a few times, and all is well until the next time. I have examined the Discharge valve which looks in...
