I think it did RandomGrinch, thanks for help , links and quick responses. I was almost ready to start looking for a new one so for the sake of some patience and 13 quid its helped delay junking it for hopefully a few more good years.

So to update anyone reading this later, i fitted the replacement reed switch a couple of days ago and the problem hasnt re occurred. It was a simple job to lift up the flap on the water tank disconnect the wire and then carefully pop the part out as its only clipped in by some simple tiny...

I did a few normal cycles and the issue didnt repeat. So i ordered a replacement reed switch just in case the issue came back and i have something to try. The white powder gradualky reduced but not completely back to normal so i expect its because the salt was completely empty and takes a few...

I still have this shower valve in place, i never found out the exact cause because i tried several changes and one worked but i dont know which as i was so fed up with the issue i just threw a bunch of changes at the problem with no testing between so no clue which was the fix, probably did way...

Thanks RandomGrinch, that does sound like a similar issue so ill run a few cycles consecutively to see if its a working but worn pump. Im also not sure if the fact that when the issue recurred the salt container was completely empty and maybe was a factor because after filling it up and trying a...

Wow i didnt see the posts on here since my original reply. Ducati was the capacitor i used and I never had to replace it again. The original tell tale that the factory capacitor had failed was it had a very obvious bulge on the side (a bit like a bulbous growth!). Both the factory capacitor and...

Hi any help on this one is appreciated: My Neff S51T69X2GB Dishwasher has started to not complete its wash cycle and i find it on 00 minutes with undrained hot water in the bottom not too long into a wash cycle (maybe 10-30 minutes in but is seems to vary). It did this once or twice before in...

For anyone else viewing this, if you've replaced the diverter and find the problem still isn't fixed eg dhw still not as hot but radiator/s then try descaling the secondary heat exchanger. In the ravenheat I have it is quite difficult to get to but was well worth the hassle, once I got it out I...

Thanks. Are these products effective on pebble dash?

If any one else has this type of prob it may be worth checking this post for something else to check //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=2023638#2023638

The thing is still going with no failures after all this time! Makes you wonder how many appliances get ditched just because of a tiny part! :D

I live in an old victorian house with solid (no cavity) external brick walls on 3 sides of the house. Ive noticed that when weather is wet the house is generally colder (even when compared to when snow has settled!). Ive put this down to water soaking into he external brick and having a general...

Hi, may be too late for the original post here but in case anyone else finds it useful later on: I had the very same problem with my Kenwood a few weeks back (mins a KDW24fI/B i think) at the end of summer 09. Anyway it turned out to be a blown motor run/start capacitor. This can be found...

when i said "the valve has just been removed" i was referrign to the shower valve and not the iso valve

hello, sorry for the delay. Ive checked the pipework and the only isolation valve is before the cold feed into the combi. There are no isolation valves between the combi dhw out and the shower valve. The valve has just been removed and lookign at cold and hot flow out of the pipes where the...

wow that was a quick reply cheers! I will check along all of the pipework tonight, i only looked at the pipework int he bathroom as the pipework lower int he house is difficult to get to. Still worth a try though. Cheers.

how old is your combi? is it a fully modulating one or not? May be a contributing factor tot he extreme hot/cold.

Hello, i tried posting this earlier but it wouldnt work so apologies if this has appeared twice. Ive just had a Park Lane (Bathroom Brands International Ltd) thermostatic shower valve installed in the bathroom on the 1st floor (not had a shower valve in place before this one). Ive got a combi...
