    Bosch Dishwasher, all lights on

    Is there any manufacturers warranty? 2 years is a short life for an appliance.

    Strip lights

    I've been returning to fluorescent and incandescent lighting at home as the quality of light is a lot better than the LED lights.

    Which wire is live and which is neutral?

    As above. I'd recommend stopping at this point and calling an electrician to investigate the wiring properly. The red wire connected to the earth terminal is a real concern.

    Strip lights

    No it isn't, those are Ansell Oxford LED fittings The red LED suggests the emergency light has failed its self test. Best way is to test for power at both the permanent and switched live terminals at the light.

    There is even a spare socket in that adaptor to plug the dishwasher in!

    Can an electrician swap my MCBs for RCBOs?

    Schneider iC60 certainly do, I don't do much domestic stuff now. I thought the Eaton domestic stuff also did but the indicator is only on the RCBOs with AFDD combined. I don't really look for an indicator when I'm fault finding I just grab the test meter.

    Can an electrician swap my MCBs for RCBOs?

    Some brands have an indicator flag that changes colour depending if overcurrent or earth leakage tripped it.

    Samsung BT621VDST Oven not working - red bar

    I had a quick look at the manual, It doesn't mention this segment lit alone. The clock must be set to operate. If the divider isn't fitted correctly etc. -dE- is displayed on the clock part of the screen.

    Samsung BT621VDST Oven not working - red bar

    You will almost certainly need to set the clock before the oven will work. Does the manual mention this red indicator? Are any of the push buttons stuck which could prevent the other buttons functioning? It is almost certainly repairable!

    link 1 and 3 at the stat next then. If the pump doesn't run then there is either a fault with the pump or the wiring somewhere between the controller and pump.

    Dish Washer filling with water randomly

    There are plenty of diagrams on the internet, I stole this one: Note how the top of the waste hose is positioned as high as possible.

    We have very high water meter readings any ideas please?

    If the meter is moving continually with the stop tap in the house open but stops when the stop tap in the house is closed this suggests a leak at some point after the stop tap. My father recently had a very small pinhole leak in the pipe between the stop tap at the meter in the road and the stop...

    You seem to be most of the way there with fault finding. Yes you can bypass the CH part of the control unit to test, this is quick (and possibly the safest option as it doesn't rely on prodding live parts with a test meter.) Just link whatever is in the CH on terminal to live. You haven't shown...

    Baxi Bermuda no CH but HW working

    A 3 port valve will spring return to the hot water position. If the motor is dead that is where it will stay. If you have a volt meter test for 240V between the white and blue wires of the valve when heating is on. If 240V is present there the valve motor is faulty and it needs a new motor/valve...
