Thanks, yeah I've tried that suggestion. I've removed all trays and shelves from the oven, with the same result

yes it heats up in other modes, but it does not work or heat up in single mode. Nothing happens, even the fan doesn't turn on. There are no indications or official error codes popping up, only the red horizontal bar as pictured, which conveniently is not covered at all in the instruction manual...

I have a hardwired samsung BT621VDST oven, it's been working fine but all of a sudden there is a red horizontal bar that appears. When I turn the knob onto "single" mode, nothing happens (the fan won't even turn on). Any advice? Important - This problem started to occur when my son left 4 small...

thanks, the source of the problem is definitely the exterior door leading to the garden. The door frame I pictured is the entrance to the utility room. The exterior door is is behind me. The exterior door is made of timber and I think it's a bit more difficult to fix that one, hence why I was...

Hi, I will be purchasing some self adhesive brush seal to help eliminate draught. But what really isn't clear is where I install the seal itself. I've attached photos of the door frame where I will be installing it. Where do I install the brush seal: 1. Would I install the brush seal on the...

the above did not cost me that much. I ordred a pair exactly as shown in your photo from ideal standard for £7 including delivery. It arrived next day! I also agree with the other comment, it's just a screw, no need to remove the toilet and shake it around the garden lol. No need to over...

oh yes, definitely! I learned the hard way :LOL:

Thanks for the responses everyone, it was all taken on board. But I really wanted a like for like replacement on the hinges. This seemed like the most logical (and cheapest) way to go. In the end, I did source this from ideal standard's spares website. It was a soft close hinge pack for my...

thanks, the new toilet seat option seems over the top. The existing seat is fantastic quality and having a quick look online, the good sturdy ones do not come cheap. Just so it's clear, it's a back to wall toilet as per photos, so there is no way to access the bottom fixings. How would new...

damn, I thought so. Thanks, time to get the pros in.

hmm isn't that a bit excessive? Will I not have the same problem when it comes to fitting the new seat? The problem is I cannot visualise the fixings, I thought the only way the seat can be installed correctly is to disconnect it from the wall and have access behind the toilet. If I only need to...

Hi, The toilet seat was loose, so I decided to cleverly unscrew the mini rod, and to my horror the fixing on the otherside of the hole underneath, feel straight to the floor. I cannot access this now as the hole is too small. Please see photos. It's a back to wall toilet. Is it an easy job to...

After unblocking the bathroom sink (long story) it appears that whilst unscrewing the pop-up plug, the bracket holding it in place had snapped off. Please see photos below. What options do I have to replace or fix this issue? Are we talking about a brand new sink?? :eek: I know getting a...

I'll do a few tests and monitor it. If we assume a few more flushes will expose the smell again, is it a case of trying to address this potential block? If so, is baking soda and vinegar/boiling water down the drain my best bet?

Hi, thanks. When I flush the toilet the shower drain doesn't smell. If I shower in the morning, and don't revisit the en-suite all day, it will start smelling in the evening time. We have 4 toilets in the house in total, so I'm not sure if toilets on the floors below (It's a townhouse, ensuite...
