Think I may have realised that the condenser isn’t actually directly behind the front panels as in other models. Back to drawing board and taking all the panels off! It’s a pain bc you have to put it on it’s front to get to one of the screws I think. Silly me having it on carpet bc I know it’s...

Was wondering if anyone can help me with trying to remove the condenser on my drier please? Can’t figure out how to get in the panel or am I not meant to?! Was hoping to be able to reach in from front to clean out sump and Trying to avoid taking the whole unit apart to get to the sump from the...

Ironically, the tap is now sorted, albeit using the 'cold' replacement cartridge so it turns the wrong way. We don't use the bath anyway so not a problem at the moment. Will source the better quality replacement parts at a later date. Thanks for the info about the online source. Well, PhD...

Thanks John :) I am shall we say a more mature student who ought to know better than to put herself through this amount of stress at this time of life :rolleyes::LOL: M

John, that's really helpful thank you very much (y) I will investigate later. As ever these things happen at the most inopportune times - am desperately putting together a PhD application and academic CV ready for deadline tomorrow midday.....it's going to be an all-nighter I think thanks again M

Thanks John, that makes sense, but without callipers, can't measure the difference, as looking at them they appear to be the same. Do different tap manufacturers have specific cartridges by any chance? M:)

Hi John, thanks for your reply. Took the old cartridge to screwfix and asked for new one to stop the leak :D The red rubber washer definitely in place, do those washers come in differing depths? M

HI everyone, could someone please offer some guidance please on having replaced the bat mixer tap cartridges, the hot is still leaking? It is in fact worse than it was prior to cartridge change! Pushing down on the top of the cartridge actually stops the drip, but can't keep the pressure on it...

Thanks Jonbey, won’t mention the kitchen....that’s next!! Always good to hear others stories, thanks again, will have a good think.

FrodoOne, Thankyou for your wisdom and your thoughts on my post. Enlightenment is key, especially in a dark building and as a student of diy forums. Thankyou again

Hi everyone, I am planning moving from the dark side and into the light by having led downlighters fitted throughout. Could someone please give me a ballpark figure for parts and labour please? 3 x bedrooms, upstairs ceiling and downstairs hall, maybe 25 in total. Thanks in advance, Helen

It certainly does! Quite a bit of water in there, float working fine, emptied it all and put the whole machine back together........it works, and the lights stayed on! Still couldn't get the top off to try and sort the f-10 issue out, but hey, it's working. I have learnt quite a bit about the...

Ok, I can prise down the top part of where the two hoses enter the grey plastic housing. Within that part are a few electrical parts, which are dry, but how do I get into the bottom half of that ?pump? . There is water in there, you can hear it when blowing through the pipes from the top. Many...

If the pump is at the bottom right at the back with the two hoses going in, then I can blow through these easily.....

The heater(what I am guessing is the heater element) is actually dry, managed to get that cover off, and the impeller is free moving. I have the 'matching' washing machine, and the top comes off really easy on that (changed door switch and also door seal in the past). This top is however going...
