Sorry for being a numpty but can I replace the head without getting wet? I am not sure how these valves work, is the head the motor and some kind of actuator, or is it the actual valve internals too? As obviously if it is the valve internals too I will need to de-pressurise the system as there...

After reading the excellent sticky on here it appears that my reason for having only hot water and no heating is that the diverter valve is faulty on my system. It is an old system compromising a Thorn Emi back boiler, cold water header tank, hot water tank, I think the hot water is gravity fed...

Thanks for the replies will go for a slot-in one I think. Not sure whether to go for a silver one or pay more for stainless. Only problem with the stainless ones is that all the ones that I have looked at so far have electronic timers which I want to avoid :?

Ok thanks for your help mate, just gonna stick with it. As it is working fine now :roll: (although I am continually watching it as it fills with water as it is still in the kitchen). Just going to get it in its new location asap, and I will take it from there. Hopefully as you previously said...

I am getting a new kitchen fitted soon and up to press I am buying a fully intergrated Diplomat dishwasher off the kitchen supplier. I have close family who have both had severe grief with dishwashers failing prematurely, both of these were slot in Zanussi machines for around £250-£300. Anyway...

Thanks for the great advice tockworth :wink: Gonna get it in the garage asap and see how it behaves. If it dumps water again I will start replacing parts (hopefully the fault may become permanent so I can pinpoint it). The parts are extremley expensive for this machine, no wonder most people...

I guess I should try this valve although it is not cheap and only one site is listing it and showing it as valves, so maybe it is a combined hot and cold valve block or something. I will have a look when I get home the machine is a Whirlpool W120 (I need to find out the model number of it, a...

I have had this machine to pieces last night, checked the pressure chamber and rubber tube up to the pressure control switch and there is no blockages whatsoever. I then decided to put it back together and I have observed 3 wash cycles with no problems :roll: I really do not know what caused it...

I am getting a kitchen fitted and at the moment I am just going along with the suppliers intergrated Diplomat dishwasher for about £300. However I know dishwashers can be extremley troublesome just like washing machines :roll: I know 2 people that have had Zanussi's fail within 2 years and...

My 10 year old Whirlpool washing machine decided to flood my kitchen on saturday. Fortunately my girfriend saw it and shouted of me so it was stopped before it could really do damage. Luckily I was not out, but I never go out and leave these pieces of crap on anyway as a plumber told me never to...
