I am trawling for an answer to a problem where the fan oven has stopped working and was interested to see this response. My oven is a diplomat 620, which is probably the same as the Stoves one underneath. Are you saying that the bulb has a thermostat built in? If so then, as the bulb is...

If you are trying to perform a repair to an ash plaster wall, without stripping the whjole thing back to the brick, then tease out all the loose plaster and before you try to fill it, spray the remaining surface of the exposed plaster with hairspray, it binds it all together and gives a much...

Hoping someone out there can help. Our cooker stopped working (as a fan oven) the other day, the light comes on, the fan runs and the conventional oven and grill stilll work. The problem is with the fan oven setting, I've replaced the element (sadly only checked the old one wasn't broken...

Can anyone help. My door handle has started to come way from the door. There doesn't appear to be a grub screw holding it to the shaft so I am wondering how it will come off. Any ideas?

I have been sent a set of the non-return valve from the mixer supplier and I have chopped away some tiles so I can reach the non-return valves housings. They appear as penny shaped screws but have a scooped notch rather than one that would logically take a flat blade screwdriver. There is...

Piccies of problems

Actually, mine doesn't have the 'with invertor' bit

Yep, identical.

Yes. And there are what look like (from the install diagram) two grub screws either side listed as non-return valve housings

There isn't one. Wish I had a working scanner! The A3004 seems to be coined by a number of comapnies including Hudson Reed, Ultra, Mitre, Monet, Rialto etc. I have a phone number so I think I'll give them a bell tomorrow and see if they think I can access the bits and re-seat, reset the...

There appears to be screws which I could access if I remove the plate but I can't find any further information on what might have happened or how to fix it. At least I've isolated the problem, just need to find a way round it. Seems a shame to fit more non-return valves if they are already...

My wife managed to find the manual that came with the mixer, the non-return valve look as though I should be able to get to them as they are either side of the mixer controls. I am reluctant to peel the cover plate off the wall until I know whether they are likely to be jammed in which case I...

The pipes come up from the floor under the bath split towards the bath (with isolators) and off to the shower, (with isolators) via the pump (with it's own isolators). I have no idea what make the mixer is, Hudson and something (Reed?)rings a bell. I know it had to go on upside down though...

Right I have isolator valves either side of the pump. I take it then if I replace the isolator vale on the 'out' side of the pump with a non-return valve then it would stop this back flow and if I needed to replace/repair the pump then the non-return valve would stop the water coming out when I...

Yes, have switched off the cold feed to the shower mixer and it seems that may have done it. So any ideas how I fix the problem in the mixer, bearing in mind it's in the wall! Is it a case of fitting the non-return valve on the hot side (the pipes to the mixer are embedded in the wall too...

Having now put the cold water back on the overflowing has started again, so it looks more and more likely that there is a crossover between hot and cold, probably in the shower mixer, bugger! What can I do?

You're being very patient with me, thanks. The hot water cylinder is the same as the blue one in your previous post. In the loft I have two tanks, one small one which feeds the heating side (I know this cause it's the one I emptied when I replaced the heating pump and the three way valve)...

You aren't going to like this, there is no cold tank it's direct feed. I have switched the cold water off at the main and it has stopped the flow which kinda proves its the issue of cold getting nto hot. Just so you know the setup, the direct feed comes in downstairs where there is a mixer...

Its sounds like the cross over from cold to hot as the hot water is being forced out the top leaving us with luke warm rather than hot water. Would the same apply with a shower pump? We have had soime issues recently with the pump not starting when you start the shower. I imagine through...
