I'm not sure either, but I think it might be to do with dryness and not introducing water vapour. Not sure about point 2 tbh.

Hi there, I've a Samsung side-by-side American-style fridge-freezer, which was only used for about a year and then, due to unforeseen circumstances, ended up in storage for years. The thing looks like new; I'd always looked forward to getting it working again, but it doesn't!! It has a display...

Ok, so having find out what all the codes mean, I've then cleared the codes and run a quick wash to see what happens. Again it fails with "inlet" in the display and only counts down a minute of the program. Now the fault code is F14 which is the circulation pump/water intake-pump pressure level...

Wow! Many thanks to you, where did you find that info? It has the following fault codes: F11, F14, F52, F70. Now to figure out what they mean...I should mention this machine was second hand, we've owned it for a couple of years and so I don't know whether it's already been repaired and whether...

Well I was wrong!! Had to wait ages for the new valve which I fitted yesterday - when we then ran the dishwasher it looked like it was fixed, but an hour or so in it came up with the same fault and now, just like before, it doesn't get more than a minute or 2 into the program.... So this is...

Water is getting into the inlet tank, so i the problem is not at the tap end. Yes the red switch is picking up the flow wheel - when removed it comes up with something like "turn the tap on" (can't remember exactly) then it goes away when put back in. One of the valves has no resistance, so I've...

Thanks and I will do, but I've just checked the solenoid valves for resistance and one has no reading at all, so I'm thinking it's that....

Going to check the pipework underneath next for blockages and then the resistance on the solenoid valves.....

Hi, thanks, no I've not inspected the waste pipe, as the error says "inlet", so I was concentrating on that side of the machine

OMG sorry, yes it's a G 5500 SC, many thanks

Hi there, our dishwasher starts a program, only gets a couple of minutes in and then comes up with "inlet"with a tap in the display. I've checked the inlet and the filter in it, it's fine and it is filling up with water anyway. I've had the side off and thought I could see a blockage in the...

Hi there. I need to install a flat roof within parapet walls. Going the tapered insulation route, we'll need to move some solar panels from the existing roof onto it. I need to decide whether the insulation must have boards on top as well as below - building inspector says it must, builders...

Hi there. I'm looking to create a covered area between my house wall and my boundary. About 7m long and just over a metre wide. It'll be invaluable ging forward, we really need the space. I'm struggling a little with the design and would appreciate and ideas/advice. I'm thinking 4" x 2"...

I'll have a look for one, many thanks Hi, nope, fraid not. The rest of the shed (80% of the shed) wasn't put together with stainless/galvanised and I'll have to treat all the nail heads before painting it - the shed was stained previously. I painted another shed of mine and it seems that when...

Hi there. I've just had to replace some of the cladding on my shed. Nailed the boards on and I need to get them protected asap. I coated (x3) the boards with preservative, but I want to make sure the nails don't rust through onto the paint as I've had before. What do I use on the nails? I've...
