Hi all. My mums boiler has a Siemens rwb2e. it is still working when asking for hot water. But there is no response when turning the central heating on. I can not hear any noises (clicks) within the control box when asking for central heating (but can when doing the hot water). Is there a way...

Thanks, I've gone for it.

i, I'm looking for a replacement heating element for a Bush dwfs126s dishwasher. But not one seems to recognise model number online. I've taken then flow through heating element out today. It's a 1800W. There are loads available online and on ebay but non state my model number. All the parts...

They'll be about a meter in length, about 450mm high and 4mm thick. Thanks

Hi, I've bought a glass splashback as we've got a gas hob and I've bought an acrylic splashback to fit either side of the glass one. My query is... It says to leave an expansion gap around the glass splashback. This is fine for top and bottom but it will look daft if I leave one at the...

Sorted, the universal connections were slightly different, wider connector at the top of thermostat so with a bit of opening and clamping on we're in business. Thanks for the idea, I just thought it would be ok but you prompted me to try again! Cheers :D

Thanks, a further problem now.... I left the door open last night and now even every time I close the door the power cuts to the house again. How do I go about checking the door switch? Thanks.

Hi all, our oven keeps triggering the circuit breaker and effectively the power to the house. It seems to happen when the oven is hot. Tonight it went off and turned the whole house off after it had been on for about 15 mins. The firs time it happened. I just switched it back to on the...

I moved into my house about a year ago and the dishwasher that was here has never worked. I have just got round to having a look at it! When I finally got it out to have a look at it, it had some ridiculous wiring at the back, so I undid the bodge job and rewired it back up correctly. But it...

Recently painted over some uncoverered plaster about year old. I painted size over the plaster, some advice from a friend and assumed it was ok to paint over now. But after a couple of coats of emulsion its cracking and some is comming off. Its on top of rough plaster that has been done to look...
