Hi I have a Hoover VHC 381 tumble dryer. When on the 'bone dry' setting or timer it runs for a few minutes and then cuts out. To get it going again I have to switch off and back on when it is cold. Please can you suggest what is wrong with it. Thanks Phil.

Hi I'm hoping that someone can help .. I don't know too much about dishwashers. I have a Zanussi ZSF 6150 dishwasher which has suddenly stopped washing too well. It seems to complete it's cycle and there is water getting in however I've noticed that the tablet isn't disolving completely...

Many thanks for your advice. I think that it was probably the cut off float as you described. I manually emptied all the water and tried again and the lights on the control panel then came back on. Regards Phil.

Hi .. thanks for the advice. Now that Christmas is over I've got the dishwasher apart all over the kitchen floor. There is a reasonable amount of water in the base of the appliance, and that does seem to be triggering the anti flood switch. Are there any obvious places to look for a leak...

Hi, I've been having a few issues with my central heating .. all went wrong in time for Christmas! I have a normal gas boiler running both hot water and central heating. Both run through a pump and a 3 port motorised value (Y plan I believe) (I'm not a plumber or an electrician!) It...

Hi .. I have a Bosch dishwasher (Hyrdosensor - SGS5342GB) that has suddenly got stuck in a cycle. I have reset, turned off, turned on etc.. but a new cycle starts, but it just stays at 94mins to go with the pump sounding like it's operating. I have cleaned out the filters and removed the...
