When this happened to a Sime i once owned, the rubber diaphragm that operates the micro switch had perished and needed replacing. There must be a switch in the cold water feed that fires the boiler.

If this is a frost free fridge, it sounds like you are getting a build up of ice and the fan is catching the ice. the fridge may not be defrosting itself correctly. If you can try and turn the fridge off for an hour or so, to defrost the coil, if the problem persists it could be a dodgy fan...

I was watching one of the many diy home renovation programs last night, It was Dominique Diamonds house. It showed you the electrician joining two T+E cables together with terminal strip and then wrapping insulation tape around the joint and stuffing it under the floor boards. Not being an...

Cheers for that noseall, you have given me a great idea, maybe raise the rsj off the wall at each end and create more of an apex roof rather than a flat roof :D this would be better for water run off. in your opinion do you think this rsj would do the job, don't really want to get structual...

Hi, Can someone tell me, if I have a garage 7m X 7m and i want to put a flat roof on top will i have to use steel beams as you can't get wooden joist's 7m long. Should I run 2 steel beams across the roof and span them with 4X2 and then stirling board on top. Can someone point me in the right...

Have you tried wrapping the threads with white PTFE tape? :wink:

I had the same problem with mine when I came to use it last time. I took all the casing off and the only thing that controls the motor is a micro switch controlled by a plunger that measures the pressure differential across the pump. I found that the plunger was sticking due to the grease on the...

Un plug the fridge and Pull the two wires off the thermostat and short them together, plug the fridge in and see if it runs. This will confirm its the stat before you buy one. :lol:

I,ve just had a new boiler installed and the flue was installed through the loft with 2 X 45 degree bends to get the flue through the roof. the system ran great for a week and then I had to redirect the flue by removing the 45 bends and replacing them with 90 degree bends, since i have done this...

There is an earth leakage fault on your machine, that is why it's tripping the ELCB back at the board. The fuse doesn't blow because the elcb detects the fault long before a fuse has time to blow. You need to find out which component in the machine is tracking to earth, the most common is the...

I would check the motor windings first as there is a start winding and a run winding. Pull the relay off the three pins on the compressor, and with a multimeter check the resistance between the three pins. The pins are in a triangle shape, the top pin is the common and the left or right is the...

Hi all, Does anybody know where I can get some info on Karcher pressure washers, mine packed in over the weekend :( . I've stripped it down but I could do with some info on how the pressure switch operates and maybe a schematic diagram. Cheers :lol:

Have you bought on of these units they sell at B&Q? :lol:

Not that much of a job, you need to remove oven from it's housing and remove the back panel, you will see the element connections there. The heater has nuts holding the the element in place but it's removed from inside the oven. Good luck :lol:
