Our washing machine has been making an awful noise for 3 weeks. I ve just had the opportunity to take off the top cover and discovered the counter balance seems loose . I’ve tried the 10mm bolts and they are solid . Just a thought I wonder if the balance is depreciating hence why I can’t tighten...

my old Dyson 25 won’t change over to the tools and I think it’s related to the changeover valve . The vacuum works great and filters always changed and cleaned. I’ve enclosed a photo. Can someone tell me if that button should be inside the transparent changeover section ? If it is how do I get...

Hi , I have a washing machine PW6065 and we presently have a F50 error at the end of the cycle and we find the clothes have not been spun properly. However if I accept the F50 error ( ok ) then put it on a spin only cycle it will do this no problem and spin the clothes as normal. The drain pump...

No it was my choice probably should have researched it better, the boiler has ViCare but not really sure how that works. Hive receiver and hub to pair are a bit fiddly, sure I ll get the hang of it .

All working now thanks :) not too pleased with hive , think i should have took viessmans advice and went for tado. However its working and we program schedules for the mrs. Thanks again.

Hi we are a tad confused, so to the hive receiver we need 3 core cable , from 1 on the thermal back to 3 hive , live on hive to L on boiler x96 , and N on hive to N on x96 , with a link between L and 1 on boiler x96 . Thanks

Thanks for this , most folk near where I live use hive and the gas fitter advised hive . Although viessman advised me tado . If I am not happy I can always change the control system. Thanks again and I ll let you know how we get on ok. Appreciated .

Just wondering if the new hive system is opentherm or is it 240v switched ?

Hi, Does anyone have any experience with connecting a new viessman vitodens 050 to a hive receiver. I’ve posted the book . It’s looking like we connect it to D for opentherm on viessman and hive receiver Connection 1 and 3 but i am not 100%. Help appreciated.

Thanks for that

Thanks there’s a CH firm attending tonight it’s a 12 year old viessman vitodens which has never had a problem in all that time ( we’ve done well ) it’s serviced every year but if it’s costly to replace the CH heat exchanger might be worth changing it the boiler not sure what you guys would...

Yes

Hi , it’s trying to heat up and then drops off repeatedly.

He’s some more information. We tried the hot water from another position and it was heating up but then went cooler and tried to heat up again and then went cooler. When I felt the hot water outlet from boiler it was hot so it is trying but is working intermittently. Could this be diverter valve...

Hi So run cold first then switch to hot , feel hot water pipe from boiler ? Thanks
