I know it's an old post but i thought this might help . I had a F-02 error code on my Hotpoint HV7F140 the coil/tacho all seemed ok but I double checked the new brushes that I put in 2-3 weeks ago and one of the brushes was stuck in its case, I sprung it back out and now the drum is turning and...

Thanks Yardie I'll give it a go after my night shift

the first time i opened it it was luke warm then hours into the cycle i checked again and the steam hit me immediately as i opened the door but im not 100% sure the water was hot but surely it must have been ?

Hello,i have a dishwasher that goes on for hours and hours when the cycle is supposedly only 90 minutes,i have cleaned the filter ,switched the power on and off numerous times but to no avail.I have to open the door to stop the cycle and the water is hot,the dishwasher is integrated and has a...

i am not sure why she changed the fuse wire or if it had broken.I cant post pics at the moment its a bit late,i was going to have a look tomorrow.

hello my neighbours downstairs lights have gone off.She has changed the fuse wire but that didn't help,she then switched the upstairs cartridge with the downstairs cartridge but that didn't work either so the problem must be in the fuse box.Anyone know what the problem could be inside the fuse...

flameport,i used to have the scart in maybe you are right about the quality.I think i will run a scart as well .I think i will get the job done by a professional,my cousin is a sparky i will ask him.What do you think the going rate would be to get a sparky to do this job just in case i cannot...

Hi again. i planned to bury the power lead and an aerial lead.I have sky+ at the moment and the way its wired ,all that goes to the back of the tv is the power lead and aerial lead,the only other thing i could possibly need is a scart if i used a dvd plyer in that room.If the kids decided to...

i know this is why you should get the professionals in ,i may ask my cousin to do it.How can you tell if a switch or socket is from the ring main or a spur,is it the amount of wires? :oops: I don't think the ring is rcd'd i don't have any trips in the garage they are the old black things with...

Hi rebuke,the fire switch also has a fuse on it,i am not sure if it comes from the socket but it was in when we moved in 11 year ago,i recently bought a new electric fire ,so i just wired it to that. I would have to go vertically up then to the right about at least 10 inches to hide it behind...

hi,thanks for the replies. Bernard,i have an electric fire and the temp doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to affect the tv. Ericmark,the socket is part of the ring main and the cable probably wouldn't go that far into the wall so i suppose a rcd type would be best,i didn't know you could...

hello i am planning on putting my tv on the wall and was wondering if it is ok to bring a spur off a double socket, up the wall and above my fireplace and connecting it to a fused box ?...one of these...

hello, i asked the neighbour for some advice(knowing he knows about such things :wink: )and he offered to do it last night straight after work.I drained the system and he heated up the old elbow and it came away no problem.He then cleaned it and added solder to the inner end and connected it up...
