Took your advice and it seems to have done the trick, water is absolutely pouring out of the dispenser now (in a good way!). Many Thanks.

Thanks, just managed to get it off, but it was a bit of a struggle! One pin was definitely too long IMHO.

Many Thanks, that does look like the only option but one of them is much longer than it needs to be and I was afraid I might break the whole thing by forcing it (not that it matters I suppose). I will try and chop/saw a bit off first I think. It’s altogether an awkward arrangement, every other...

I’m replacing these as I think the solenoids are broken but am having trouble getting the old inlet valves out of the machine. The picture shows the inlet at the back of the machine, it is secured by two tabs top and bottom (only bottom one appears in pic) and it looks as if it needs to be...

Bit of a saga if you can bear with me.. The dispenser is shown in the picture, I’ve tried cleaning the little holes in the bottom of it where the water comes out into the conditioner drawer but it did no good. Another problem which may be related is that the machine stops mid cycle with error...

We get quite a build up of frost on our mini freezer as shown in the photos. We do get rid of it from time to time but this time we’ve let it go a bit far so it’s not always quite that bad, but it always returns fairly quickly especially at the top left corner. Anyway, was wondering if this is...

Thanks - neat, non-rusting bolts might be OK I think, but I probably wouldn’t go that route.. not sure what’s behind the plastic No key necessary after closing, but good point.

Yes, exactly that.

I am thinking of putting a door closer on my outward opening uPVC patio door but am concerned that screwing into uPVC wouldn’t provide a robust solution. I see ‘mounting plates’ are sometimes recommended to give a better solution but can’t find any details of how to fix the mounting plate to...

I see I have this vent in my airing cupboard which has leaked water at some time. I am wondering if I actually need it as the CH system is open vented and as far as I can tell that means no additional venting is required. Maybe it’s there for some other reason, can anyone comment from the photo...

Recently noticed the carpet in our hall is damaged in places, looks like something has been nibbling it! On further investigation the mortar underneath the door sill is crumbling so there is plenty of scope for insects to get inside but nothing bigger I’d say (the floor in the hall is concrete...

I am looking for replacement seats for my Sottini toilets and want to inspect them before buying rather than just placing an internet order as I am unsure of the model (can’t id them from online searches and they are quite old). The nearest comprehensive suppliers I have found are...

Hi, I took the whole assembly out of the sink and tried to force the spout out using the screw feature on my Workmate. It came out eventually but I had to wiggle it a bit and in the process the tube cracked. I am sure it is meant to pull out but as has been said they do tend to bind making it...

Thanks for all the replies, I’m sure there’s no grub screw as I have looked all around and other web sources confirm no screw on this type - there’s even a YouTube on it. I think I need something to get rid of limescale etc. inside the housing and am trying to drip some de-scaler in. Let me know...

Hi, The spout has become so stiff to turn that it sometimes turns the main pillar with it. I have undone the securing ring and tried to pull the spout out to clean and replace the o rings (which I understand is the procedure) but it seems firmly stuck. Is it just a case of more brute force or is...
