It’s a Hotpoint dishwasher, it was well reviewed. I should have known something would go wrong when I immediately started receiving calls/letters to sign up to a service plan. They are very pushy on this. There are so many Hotpoint dishwashers with slightly varying model numbers, it’s hard...

Yes, it should do, but they keep saying the burden of proof is on me because it's out of warranty and older than 6 months. They are insisting on an engineer's report, but so far, everyone I've contacted is not interested. They don't care that it's a recurring issue, and I paid with PayPal, which...

I’m making a consumer rights claim on a 14month on dishwasher with AO.com, they offered me a partial refund which I would accept but they’re asking for an expert report which says the dishwasher is inherently faulty. It has already been repaired twice under warranty (within first 6 months) due...

Hi, Can someone help me diagnose what could be causing this noise? It's a banging sort of noise if you can't view the video. I seem to have to bleed a few of the radiators daily, but I cannot find any leaks anywhere. The pump is set to the maximum setting, which it always has been, and there...

Must be the case, been wondering if I’m going mad and forgotten I’ve touched it. No boiler cutouts since, thanks @ianmcd

I was able to give it a turn, and the pipe became hot. There was definitely nothing running through it before then. How it became closed after changing some radiators is a mystery, there's no way I've forgotten putting an adjustable spanner to that. Hopefully, that's sorted the issue; thanks again.

I was only running CH after seeing your message and shutting it down. I’ve just felt that pipe after switching off CH and its cold. Pump runs for 3 mins after shutting down CH and I can hear the valve close, so where the hell is the water going? To me it felt like water still going through the...

Sorry overlooked your message. I’ve looked, but I can’t see anything that I could have mistakenly turned off. Some photos attached. Where I drained off:

Ok, so I re-read the manual, and it's a 3 minute overrun, not 8. I just timed the pump overrun, and it was precisely 3 minutes. So it's not that! I think I heard the valve shut off quickly yesterday and assumed it was the pump or I didn't leave the system on long enough. I just bled some air...

This could be it. Manual says pump overrun should be for 8mins.. I’ll investigate the wiring next

The room hit temp quicker than I thought, so I wasn’t in the garage to check what was going on with the boiler or pump. When I went out the boiler had triggered the overheat switch though. I reset, relit the pilot light and called for heat. Everything fired up, I cancelled the call for heat on...

Hello DIYNot, I'm facing a heating issue since replacing three radiators on the ground floor of my house. Our boiler now frequently overheats and I have to keep resetting the boiler to get it going again. Previously, we could leave the boiler running all day and it would start up the following...
