    Miele W 310 Washing machine problem

    SUCCESS !!! It was a blockage after all. Having checked all the pipes (removed them and flushed them through) all that was left to check was a plastic rectangular unit mounted in the rear of the interior. It is approximately 18 " high x 3" wide x 2" deep, has a 1" pipe to the bottom from the...

    Miele W 310 Washing machine problem

    Thanks once again for the suggestions. I have now disconnected all hoses and flushed them through, hardly any muck came out so no problem there. Removed soap drawer and removed top plate. Removed the "Water Path Control Unit" (at the back of the soap drawer) and separated the motor section...

As mentioned previously, when I first select "Separate Rinse" programme the water passes through the soap...

    Cold Central Heating after draining and refilling

    Me again I gave the pump a tap with a large adjustable spanner and it spluttered and whined (loudly), halted briefly then started turning again. Unfortunately it hasn't cured the problem so I think I will bite the bullet and fit a new pump. God knows how old the existing one is ...

    Suitable shower for gravity and pump ?

    Morning all I am looking at installing a shower over the bath. There is a shower attachment from the bath mixer tap assembly and when I hold it up to the required height I would say the pressure is borderline for a decent shower. The airing cupboard backs onto the end of the bath where...

    Zanussi ZDF290W Oven. Replaced element, still problem. Help

    Any suggestions please ? The element in the main oven burnt out (hole blown in its side) so I replaced it. The small top oven works as normal but nothing on the main oven. I opened up the casing expecting to find a blown fuse or a reset - nothing like that in circuit anywhere. The...

    Cost of re-tiled roof ?

    This is probably too 'loose' a question for an answer but I will ask it anyway. I am thinking of putting in an offer to buy a 3 bedroom bungalow. It looks as if the existing roof tiles need replacing and there is no existing felt. I am therefore wondering if it is possible to get a VERY...
