Thanks for your reply. No- the air coming out of the bleed valve does not burn. It's a sealed system and I assume that the combi boiler contains an expansion vessel.

Hi I'm looking for some help in resolving an issue with my bathroom towel rail radiator filing with air. This radiator has always had issues with air, I have had a heating engineer take a look at it, he tightened up the connections and added that sealant chemical to the system (I forget what...

I've tried that and the elements seem to be fine, it's only just that thermostat at the front that has no continuity. Thanks anyway.

The disc is definetly convex already and after no amount of throwing it on the floor has it reset, I really think it is faulty. Can anyone point me in the direction of a replacement? Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried your suggestion but it doesnt seem to have reset. It's actually quite rattly sounding. Would you happen to know what the part number is as I can't find a replacement under my model on espares? Thanks again.

Hi I have a Hoover WA110 which doesn't get hot when drying. I've recently replaced the thermostats so they should be ok. Can anyone tell me what the component in the picture highlighted in red is? There is no continunity through it which makes me think it is probably goosed. Thanks for...

Got the new thermostats as recommended and they seem to have done the trick! Thanks a lot for your help, it has been much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realise they got so hot! Anyway I'll give that a go, it's not so bad with this weather, I live in a flat so I don't have the space or the washing line!

Hi I have a fairly old Hoover WA110 washer/dryer which has minimal use. The problem is that the thermostat on top of the heater box keeps tripping after about 15 minutes of the dryer being on. I have tried: cleaning out the condenser, checked the fan is turning, and swapped the 2 thermostats...

Hi I'm having a problem with my Redring Dual Heat 12U heating system in that there does not seem water flowing round the system. I suspected a blockage on the flow side so I drained the system, closed all the radiators and removed one, then with the drain still open connected a hose pipe to...

Hi The ball cocks seem ok they certainly let water in when they are pushed down and stop when it gets to the proper level. They are the cisterns for the heating systems. We all have Redring Dualheat combi boilers. Thanks for the help so far and I'll try and get a pic or 2 later tonight.

Hi A couple of questions; one fairly simple and the other not so! 1) I live in a top floor flat which has an attic and in there are the cisterns for the heating systems for my 2 neighbours and mine. I was surprised to see that they share a single common over flow pipe; is this the norm and...

Under the floor boards there are what I can only describe as concrete planks, I don't know if they continue into the wall or not. I've also been told that the inner wall may be made from some kind of insulting block, I'm not sure how to tell though but it is very soft. Thanks for your...

Hi Now I hope this isn't too silly a question but can an upper flat have the wall cavities insulated without downstairs being done? Also how do you know if it has been done in the past? There are no holes in the outside wall suggesting that it has been added but its a fairly new build so I...
