Flameport, with ref to the correct coloring, a very good point and you are correct.

Sometime prior to going O/C Elements go out of shape and the Fan (assuming its a fan oven) strats fouling on the element, causing all sorts of noises. Try taking the cover off for a better look.

So if one was to brake an example it open and examine, the conductor, what would be so different about that strand of wire, that it improves the sound quality of the piece of equipment that previously had it fitted in IT`S 13A PLUG. Incidentally they also do a gold plated version at £75 each ...

I know different products from the Russ Andrews web site have been discussed on this Forum with some healthy scepticism. But I now see they are retailing the, "Russ Andrews super Fuse ", a replacement for your standard BS1362 at £25 a pop ! A pretend sales enquiry, assured me they comply with...

Yes I tried to get the type with the test button, could not see them stocked any were. So were ok with a Key switch then ?

Picked up on a fire safety audit is a missing maintained fire exit light in a large bathroom located in a hostel, the bathroom has two doors one leading to the outside of the building designated as a fire escape . Question is can a engineers emergency light test switch be located in a bathroom...

I think this thread has gone off course, a bit. On my first visual inspection of this lamp in question, my suspicions were aroused by what I perceived as the attached poor quality quality mains flex. I initially thought it had been rewired with that clear two core speaker cable, but further...

That's right, two label's on the mains flex, but neither have any indication of it being double insulated. But is the unmarked flex also a reason to fail it ?

I have been given some 240volt table lamps to PAT Test, that were recently purchased, from a well known large retailer. The lamp shade and the supporting stand and body are all made of metal. There are no markings to indicate if it is double insulated appliance. It is fitted with clear twin...

I had a close look at the bottom wash arm, and you were correct, it had a split each side along the join, I have glued it together with epoxy resin, and it now working fine, no more leaks. I have ordered a replacement pair, as I don't expect the adhesive to last for long. Your advice was much...

Thanks for your reply, you are correct DW663, I will take a close look at the lower arm. I did notice the door seal is a popular listing on ebay, so I assume a common failure, mine looks ok but ?? Is it worth getting one to try?

I have had 2 or 3 Sebo X4`s Vacs, were the moulded plug has gone open circuit( O/C) inside, chop it off with about 6 inches of the flex then bell it out again. I have also changed a few Sebo on off switches as well, but the cable should read no more than a couple of ohms from one end to the...

We have a Beko Dishwasher Model BW663, that leaks from the bottom right hand corner of the door, nearly every time we us it. I have had a good look at the door seal, and cannot see anything obvious, the right hand side looks no different than the left. All channels are free from grease, cant...

That thought crossed my mind at the time as well, but I could see no scorch marks, but then again their all thick with grease and carbon. Only once did one trip the incomer, and that was after MCB feeding it had been reset about 4 times in succession. As to there age, they average 4 years at...

Thanks for the reply, yes I am familiar about the ingress of moisture into Elements, but the resultant earth leakage, usually just trips the RCD or RCBO. When I have encountered this particular problem, it really goes " bang", on one occasion it even took out one of the 3 phase incommers ! I...

The person at College who taught me the 16th Ed regs, had two fingers burnt away through a accident with pulling the company fuse.

Bound to be the PCB, I have had some weird faults with them at times, best to by pass it, the slow speed is of little use any way.

Need a answer to this one please. I maintain about 25 of this Currys cooker model or its clones, and often have to replace the Elements because they have gone O/C, but on the odd occasion, after replacing the Element, and the oven is selected they just violently trip the MCB protecting the...

Any one know which Fuse feeds the Electric Sun Roof, on a Mk 1 Honda CRV, been looking on line at CRV fuse boxes, no mention of a Sun Roof , any info appreciated.

Thanks, John, I was hoping it was a chain, but two and a half hours, could be worse. Newton Meters ?? "I am still in old Money".
