    Double socket off a cooker outlet switch query

    Hi Sunray, The only reason I was thinking of not using the cooker switch socket was because the plug on the oven is pre-molded and I assume that the induction hob would be the same. Hence why I was thinking of a double socket being suitable. As I have 1 socket below the worktop that is...

    Double socket off a cooker outlet switch query

    Hi I have a gas hob in a flat that I rent out that was fed from pipework under the floor. on a recent safety check the engineer found a leak so I got him to cap off the underfloor pipework. I cannot see an easy way of getting the pipe to the gas hob without it being seen in the kitchen. So I am...

    Potterton Suprima with megaflow unvented cylinder issue

    I think it must have been an air lock as it has started to work. Taking that centre screw completely out and turning it on must have solved the issue. Thank you Oldbutnotdead

    Potterton Suprima with megaflow unvented cylinder issue

    Hi Old, I took the centre screw out of the pump and little bit of dirty water came out. I then turned the boiler on and the centre bit spun round and a little bit of water came out. Had a tray underneath which captured any water but did not need any towels. I believe I have a pressurised...

    Potterton Suprima with megaflow unvented cylinder issue

    I have a Potterton Suprima boiler which connects to the Megaflow. Today it started to have an issue as the boiler keeps shutting off and needs resetting. It seems that water is not flowing round the primary flow and return. The pipes are really hot at the top of the boiler so I assume that there...

    Natural limestone fireplace painting query

    Electrolux EFC650 X/GB cooker hood switch issue

    Having had a look at it the switches they seemed quite clean but I will give a switch degreaser a go. I think it may well be wear. I did notice that mine has 5 buttons, 3 speeds. one that turns off the fan and an on/off light button. The light on/off switch has a small metal pin whereas the 3...

    Electrolux EFC650 X/GB cooker hood switch issue

    Yes definitely out of warranty. Because I have plenty of time on my hands was going to see if I could have a look at it to see if I could find out what it could be that is causing the issue.

    Electrolux EFC650 X/GB cooker hood switch issue

    Hi The cooker hood switch has 3 speeds and at times I have issues with the button staying on at all speeds. As soon as I push the button in it never stays on it can take quite a few presses before it will stay on. The light switch works fine so it is just the 3 speed settings that are the...

    Indesit IWDD7143 heater element query

    I recently had the dryer element changed and it has gone faulty again. So, I was wondering whether the washer dryer can be used only for washing. The issue I have is that the washing machine does not come on unless it has the dryer element working I assume it goes through some self checks before...

    Indesit IWDD 7143 fault code F15

    Hi Just an update and for information. It turns out that the heater element for the dryer had gone faulty also. Once this was changed the washer dryer started working again. I can only assume that the F15 code which I thought from checking was a blockage was with regards to the heating element...

    Indesit IWDD 7143 fault code F15

    Hi jj4091 Yes I cleaned the pump housing and filter. The pressure switch tube is connected to the drum. I have noticed that on some machines that error code 15 has something to do with the drying heater relay. On inspecting the fan and the housing the fan has melted and it is quite badly...
