Unsure how to test as it's a 4-wire interface, but moot because the shaft has rusted through. I'll be ordering a new part.

It looks like you're holding it wrong. The LCD connections are usually under a 'lip' along the edge on the reverse side, not along the edge itself. The zebra strip is held in place by pressure alone sandwiched between the LCD and the board. There may also be a foam pad between board and LCD...

Hi, I have a 9yr old Beko DW80323W (7658333842) dishwasher. It appears to be filling ok. When reset it correctly drains. However instead or the normal whirring of the wash it just makes a humming sound. After a full cycle the contents are not cleaned (obviously) but there is the usual steamy...

Thank you so much! They don't make them like they used to, obviously. :)

I mean these - As for the cover pozi screws in the stock picture, these are not apparent on mine. It appears the whole thing is cast and only the end plastic cap is removable as here -

Thank you very much. That makes sense and I feel a bit more confident about experimenting now. A search turns up these images from an obsolete product listing. The technical drawing matches what I have although the images appear to be a revised design. One product listing says: the hinge...

Hi, yes it's another "please identify my door hinges and how to adjust" thread. My search has so far failed to find anything similar and I'm a complete noob at this. The doors (front and rear entrances) are 3-hinge single doors. There appear to be 4 adjustment screws per hinge. Both doors...

Thanks very much for all the suggestions. I'll get to try this next week. I have a roll of neoprene sheet, only 1mm though maybe enough to prove a point. Still a bit unsure about putting grease between the ceramic parts. They are from identical components with one of the parts rotated...

Thanks, that makes sense. There is currently little to no resistance when opening/closing the tap. I wonder if the O-ring is perhaps a little too big (thick), or at least was when new. I could try it without the black O-ring. Any thoughts on adding grease between the ceramic discs...

Hi, I replaced both cartridges to fix a dripping kitchen mixer tap and it was all good, for 6 months, but then it started leaking quite badly. I then disassembled and checked the tap, put a thin smear of grease around the bottom gasket of the cartridge and tightened it back into the tap as...

Hi, Thanks for the tips and suggestions. This has had to wait due to competing projects! I tried offering up the flexi and wasn't so happy with the look and considering the comments about not kinking the hose it's just a bit awkward trying to slew across from one side to the other, as the feed...

Hi, I'm replacing a toilet pan and close-coupled cistern. The new cistern is bottom entry on the left whereas previously it was bottom entry on the right, 15mm copper pipe rising from the floor. I'd also like to add an isolating valve. The one I have is a Pegler PB300T with 15mm compression...

Hi, Other than Ebac are there any brands that offer dual feed (hot + cold) on any of their washing machines?

With the help of an ebay seller, traced this to a faulty cold inlet valve. Replacement solenoid in the post. I'm fairly confident it will solve the issue. Machine has separate H+C inlets. It would fill for the wash on hot inlet, then shut down due to absent cold inlet for the rinse.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help with fault diagnosis on a Zanussi Washing machine. The wash cycle proceeds as normal until it stops just prior to rinse. If the switch is moved on by hand the cycle will progress through rinse, spin and drain, as for a normal wash but stopping each time with...
