I am wondering could it be that air box thing /air break on the left hand side of the dishwasher at the bottom making the noise. is that a possibility? or maybe the salt regen container? - i am most probably clutching at straws but it has me baffled.

Thanks. It pumps out yes at very first and no unusual noise there, just normal pump noise. It then fills up and just before it starts the cycle it makes noise , and then for rest of cycle even when it pumps out there are no strange noises just normal ones.

thank you. But machine is filling up with water as it starts cycle, so it wouldn't be emptying water out

Hi, all - i got a nice Whirlpool UK Model Dishwasher second hand , washes lovely works absolutely fine (apart from the auto door opener which i can deal with I just open the door manually) - the odd thing though is the noise it makes after the tub fills up with water at the start of the cycle...

yeah , still on there - i haven't seen anyone say they miss me lol. its more than likely a godsend haha

| So something like 9v to energise the primary coil to close the contacts in the relay and the contacts in the relay being 240vac 5amp , is that how it works?

Ah right thank you - this is the new model then and this new model uses a replaceable 9v battery it makes sense now. my old timeguard switch didnt have a replaceable 9v battery in it ... so i presume it must have had a rechargeable one in it then, but the replacement ones these days have a...

Thats fascinating/like magic if thats the way it worked with a rechargeable battery inside , i mean how did it charge the battery in it without a neutral supply along with the live? I have plenty of plug in digital timers in the house which have a battery in them , but the battery in them will...

Hi, i want to wire up a photocell switch to my outdoor lights but want to wire it up to the 5amp light switch in the hall. in the old days I had a handy Smiths Timeguard light switch , the size of a normal UK wall light switch and it had a photocell in it and then a timer up to 8hours (so turned...

first time i have had to replace a washer in this type toilet cistern. It all seems to be working fine , however as the cistern is filling up water is dripping out where I have arrowed as its filling , after its finished filling the water stop coming out of that place … should it do that though...

just coming back with an update to say all fixed now and central heating working now as it should. water getting to boiler now and radiators getting hot . I cut out the blocked multilayer pipe and the junction where the blockage was in and replaced it with copper pipe and compression...

I have syphoned/drained down F&E tank today and put some Sentinel x800 cleaner in the tank today. Going to leave it for 24hrs and see what it does. i have tried sucking it out with wet and dry vac both flow and return pipes , then I tried sticking garden hose with water to flush it through bot...

thanks yeah, I tried blowing down the pipe I disconnected of the pump inlet on the return pipe but not strong enough to move blockage . How would I fare connecting hose with mains water pressure to the boiler drain tap and reverse flushing the system that way? - i realise it will most probably...

Thanks - you are right , could more than likely be sludge. the water was pretty black and disgusting (but its bound to be years in boiler I suppose) header tank is clean apart from the usual brown sediment at bottom. not too bad though. when i open 3bar PRV no water flows out as usual , just a...

Thank you for your replies and help. so just to confirm no problem with having the F&E cold water feed from the header tank going into the flow pipe of the boiler then? , it does not have to go/make more sense to have the feed going into the return of the boiler then no?
