I had a check and there doesn't seem to be anything loose or not crimped properly. Guess I just ended up with a duff unit :(

This is wired up with the control module in place: And this is wired directly, bypassing the control module: And this is the wiring diagram (my installation is has an external isolator switch over the bathroom door): For reference, this is the old fan: Any obvious gotchas...?

I recently purchased an AirFlow iCON 15 extractor fan after the previous one in my bathroom died. I purchased it from from SuperLec but it doesn't seem to be working. I've wired it in and the actuator that opens/closes the cover works, but the fan itself doesn't do anything. I also purchased...

I did wonder about the spray arms as it always looks like the goo has dripped down into stuff from above...but I couldn't see anything in them. Yes, always get rid of fat before putting stuff in

Yep the filters seem to be pretty clean. I'll try the cleaner, see how it goes....

Just recently my dishwasher (Bosch) has started leaving random deposits of a brown, sticky goo on certain items in the dishwasher. The dishwasher is about 5 years old and still works a treat...no issues at all. Then about 2 weeks ago this started happening. It doesn't appear every time but...

Thanks John...but yes, it looks like that's only suitable for 22-32mm canoe...cat6 is about 6mm!

I'm fitting a ReoLink security cam system at home and one of the cameras needs to be mounted on the wall, just under the rear upstairs window. The camera (PoE) is pre-wired with a female RJ45 socked, so I want to run a cat6 cable down the wall from the loft into a junction box on the wall, then...

Well, bizarrely enough, the tap is now stopping quickly like it used to. I didn't actually do anything...it's just sorted itself out! Maybe just needed some time to bed in...?!

Both old and new valves have 20 spines, so it's kinda weird that they sit differently. D'you think it looks slow to turn off in the vid? Or is that normal? It's definitely slower than the old one

Thanks for the info (y) Re the tap alignment...I'm under a bit of pressure to get them to line up, if you catch my drift! ;) (You never know, once it's been like this for a few days, it might get overlooked!). Good suggestion re the tape though - I'll give it a try if a fix is demanded requested!

My kitchen mixer tap (quarter turn, approx 5-6 years old) had a dripping cold tap so I've replaced the cartridge with a new one from Screwfix: https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-1-2-bsp-quarter-turn-ceramic-tap-glands-pack/2611f Two issues...firstly, when the tap is fully off, the handle is...

Something else I've noticed is that the room temperature shown on the TRV is quite different to the temperature shown on an independent thermometer...sometimes by about 5-6 degrees. Is that normal?

It's the OpenTherm Bridge (part: R8810A1018)

I have an Intergas Xclusive 30 which was fitted a couple of years back, along with EvoHome. Generally I've been pretty pleased with the whole setup, but one thing I've noticed is that if there's a mild spell during winter, it feels like the rooms get a bit too hot/stuffy and I have to tweak...
