    Hotpoint HIC 3B+26 Dishwasher won't switch on.

    The switch board was the small PCB that all the switches connect onto. There was something on the board that was killing the supply voltage. Replaced the PCB and all good after that, been running for a few years.

    Softwood stripping

    Long story short, summerhouse was not treated properly so want to strip back and start again. What's the easiest way to remove Osmos oil from softwood? Scrapping and sanding is taking forever. Sandpaper just gets clogged up very quickly. Is there a chemical stripper or something similar like...

    Summerhouse on patio with fall

    Hi all, been trying to read previous posts. I have a 3x3 patio that's on a slight slope and will be building a corner summerhouse on it next week hopefully. To keep the bearers level is it ok to use plastic shims? Should I also use a DPC roll on top of the bearers between them and the...

    Hotpoint HIC 3B+26 Dishwasher won't switch on.

    Replaced the component above and the voltages are back up at 12v but it got very hot. Checked other components that this goes to and goes to main plc and other parts so ordered a new switch module. Fingers crossed.

    Hotpoint HIC 3B+26 Dishwasher won't switch on.

    No water leaking etc, I have found this component on the switch board that is a voltage regulator. Input and output pins only 1.6 ohms so doesn't seem correct. I will order and replace and see how it goes, could be killing the 12v going up to the board, as some of the pins beep to this component.

    Hotpoint HIC 3B+26 Dishwasher won't switch on.

    Checked the mains supply and I have 230v AC with the plug removed from the control board but when connected the mains drops to 36vac I have checked the board for component damage but nothing obvious. Just found splayed pins so sorted that and now mains stays high. If the main door latch is made...

    Hotpoint HIC 3B+26 Dishwasher won't switch on.

    I have a Hotpoint HIC 3B+26 integrated dishwasher which popped the RCD, so I switch off the switch and reset the RCD and then when I switched it on again it just popped straight away. I removed the dishwasher and opened and checked for blown components or any damage on the main supply lines. I...

    Wallpaper paste, "paste the wall" on normal paper?

    Just to let everyone know it worked well. I would just recommend to make sure the edges are soaked well. Thanks again

    Wallpaper paste, "paste the wall" on normal paper?

    I think paste the wall is actually harder and more of a pain. When you past the paper the bottom half is folded out the way until it's needed when as when paste the wall the paper is in the way. I will give it a try I'm confident it will still work. Thanks.

    Wallpaper paste, "paste the wall" on normal paper?

    No it just says to paste the paper and leave for 5-8 mins to soak. I didnt know if paste the wall paste was different and not soak into the paper the same but to be honest looks the same in the bucket as normal paste.

I want to know if I can use it on standard vinyl wallpaper or does it have to be the standard paste? Only reason I ask is that Screwfix are out of stock due to the current situation...

    So what do you recommend? Dropping resolution to get higher frame rate or stick at 5mp 12fps?
