My electric shower unit Mira Advance 8.7S J87E 09/03 is no longer working (no lights on, no water flow). The pull-cord for electricity to the bathroom also won't turn on. Is this likely an issue with the pull-cord or the shower unit (e.g. short circuit)? I have some quotes to replace the shower...

My washer is making a whistling/grinding noise - you can hear it in the videos. It is intermittent and often starts while the drum isn't rotating, then continues when the drum starts to rotate. It occurs occasionally at various points during the cycle. What is causing it and how can I fix it...

The cooker hood was in place when I moved in - no details of the manufacturer, although the motor unit inside it was a Baumatic AG600SS. I would not be surprised if it is poor quality since most of the fittings in the flat were minimal quality, or poorly maintained, or both. For example, I...

It was Mr Muscle kitchen spray, and I wiped it dry afterwards with kitchen towel - same product and method I’ve used many times.

After cleaning my stainless steel cooker hood, the next day I noticed extensive rust marks. The cleaning product I used is one I've used before (even the same bottle) and a soft sponge (which was brand new - maybe there's a chemical on new sponges?). There are some rust marks on the stainless...

Mainly because it is ancient (Worcester Bosch Si24 II). It is something to do with it overheating: the overheating sensor is triggered after a few seconds which shuts down the boiler. I did get quite a detailed explanation when I had the engineer over to fix it last week, but I don't remember...

My boiler is broken and I'm considering these two: Glowworm Betacom 3 24 KW or Worcester Greenstar 25i ERP. The boiler is external (on a terrace) for a one-bedroom flat in London. Does anyone have recommendations on which is better? The Worcester is more expensive and comes recommended, but...

I have an external boiler which has broken. It's enclosed in a wooden housing. When I opened the door to reset the boiler (unsuccessfully), the door came off - it has signs of insect and water damage, so not only do I need a new boiler but also a need a new housing :/ I've received a few...

Thanks for the links - the images in the Bosch Worcester page are not displayed, but it doesn't look as though it is a key-type filler. I can find the silver braided filling loop but there is only one tap and it is already partly-turned (i.e. not fully open or closed). The tap is on the right...

How do I increase the gas reading?

Good point. The boiler initially worked for heating - the boiler flame detection light turned on and exhaust came out the flue - but a few minutes later the fault light came back on (flashing quickly).

I have a Bosch Worcester 24Si II boiler (see control panel below), but there is no hot water and the boiler isn't turning on. It's housed in an external housing. I've followed the instructions in the user manual: Initially the fault light was flashing slowly and after resetting it (holding the...

<deleted - problem solved>

The fan at the back appears to be spinning as normal.

I have a Hygena AE6BMS oven (photo attached). Yesterday the fan-forced oven stopped working properly (I opened it to find the roast potatoes still raw after an hour.) When using the fan-forced setting, the oven only heats to lukewarm. It isn't hot enough to cook anything and it is still cool...
