The floor was wet last Thursday and Friday but has been bone dry ever since despite all the rain we have had.

Thanks for the replies. My first thought was condensation, there is no ventilation in the garage as far as I can see. But the roof felt is dry, I went up step ladders and felt it. Nothing seems to be dripping from above and the bucket does not collect water. The floor was wet for 2 days and...

I notice that my garage floor gets wet at certain times of the year, it has been dry all through winter with all the rain we have had. It turned less cold 2 days ago and felt milder and the floor is wet in places again. I have a pitched tile roof and have had a look from inside and the felt is...

Funny thing is, the original part in my washer/dryer has a sticker with "Made in PRC". I wonder if that is the peoples republic of China?

Thank-you all for the replies. Fred, the coarse filter is in tact and not broken, please see picture. Wayners, there are no flashing lights of error codes. I did a wash yesterday and it worked as it should. I then turned the blue water isolator tap off. John, I had to go out this morning and...

Thank-you for the replies. The washer/dryer waste pipe is not connected to the kitchen sink. It is in a small utility room.

Hello all, I last used the Indesit washer/dryer 3 days ago. This afternoon I was going to fill the drum with laundry but it was full of water. I used a sponge and bucket to empty it and thought I would have a look at the pump pre-chamber to see if anything was stuck in there. It was clean and...

Thank-you.

Thanks, great idea. I did not know they existed. Watched a couple if videos in the type to get. You would think plumbers bungs would not be hard to find on either ebay, screwfix, b&q or toolstation but none of them have the continuous type.

Thank-you. So draining down the hot water is the way to go. I had a look in the loft and there is a pipe coming from the bottom of the water tank in the loft to the bottom of the cylinder, see picture. The red valve is completely stuck so would I need to prop up the ball valve in the tank to...

I have a dripping Kitchen tap, I was able to shut off the mains water to replace the cold tap but there is no isolating valve to the hot tap. I live in a concrete floored bungalow and the pipe goes under the floor in the kitchen but I cannot see where it goes to, I would have thought to the...

Since my original post 2 weeks I have been turning on the boost for 30 minutes each morning and this is enough water for me. Today I thought I would do some research and learn about the water heater. I found this video which is quite in depth. My temperature dial does not have numbers like the...

This is a 1988 bungalow.

I have 1 meter, to take my meter reading during the day, the day rate shows, I press the button twice on the meter to see the night time reading.

I am one of those that thought running the washing machine in the early hours would be cheaper, I set it earlier so that the cycle finishes at 8am (I know my changeover time is 8:15 am as I have watched the meter outside.)
