    Gas Hob Installation

    all i can say is that all gas appliances should be installed and checked by a corgi registered installer ( i'm not one). that installer should sort out your problem. don't do it yourself, gas is infinately more lethal than electricity. a four bedroom house near me disappeared in an instant...

    My Zanussi DCS 14 W is trying to pump out,when off

    nigeld is correct this model does have an aquastop float switch. it could have been activated by foaming. this is usully caused by cheap detergent or by fairy liquid contamination. as it is a bench top model i'd suggest that you unplug it and gently tilt it backwards on the draining board. you...

    belt or direct

    i can't thik of ay great advantage. i'm sure that the other repair guys on here will agree that with the exception of certain models, you'll find the drive belts last for ages. so if you're thinking of buying an l.g. machine i'd consider a siemens who have just introduced long full warranties to...

    ]Whirlpool AWM 29 Stops 3 times during cycle

    you say it spins and pumps fine. what you don't say is if it fills after the initials wash cycle ie does it take cold water to rinse? check your cold water supply by selecting a final rinse only cycle. if it doesn't fill then i'd check for water or the solenoid coil for a circuit break, or a...

    hotpoint ctd80

    sorry i don't know what f13 means but i'd guess that the dryer isn't heating. if it's not then above the heater unit behind the back panel you should find two small thermostats. the one on the right is a thermal cutout. they used to be resettable but last few years they're not. try to see if the...

    hotpoint aquarius 7823 timer not moving on

    it could be a number of things. firstly, if the water is heating but not advancing then it's likely to be the stat. you can check it out by selecting a different temperature wash. if that works the the stat controlling the wash which didn't, is your fault. if neither temp wash is working and the...

    Indesit W133s leaks

    i haven't come across this fault on that series of machines yet. like some whirlpool machines the screw you're describing could be to hold a bracket for the tub heater. when you tighten it up again try putting a blob of silicone on it. the next time i'm at one of these i'll have a look.

    bosch dishwasher not draining

    depending on the model you may find under the filter that towards the left side is a cover over the drain pump impellor. it is held in place by a t-20 torx screw. if you remove it you get access to the pump to remove what is usually a piece of broken glass or a lemon pip etc. on some very...

    new dishwasher leaking

    first thing to check is that the machine is level front to back. ideally it should be level but a slight lean towards the back can some times stop a slight leak. also don't use a cheap brand of detergent. finally on a very rare occasion it can be down to how the crockery is stacked.

    Dyson washing machines / discontinued??

    they didn't take off because they are ugly, too big and would look stupid in the average kitchen. i've fixed a couple of them, and even though i can now sell them a lot cheaper, i would feel a bit guilty about it. if you've got that sort of money to spend, miele are doing a ten years parts and...

    Indesit W123

    trade price for genuine carbons is £6 plus vat, don't know what a retailer will sell them for. do a google search for appliance spares or alternatively ring the number on the sticker. it's unlikely that even copy carbons are worn this quick, i would first check your drain pump filter and sump...

    Washing Machine below drainage?

    no need to be sarcastic mr breezer, of course i read your post. do you really think that one centimetre of water from a washer which has just rinsed through gallons of fresh cold water is going to smell? feel free to get the guy to spend a relative fortune on a saniflow.

    Washing Machine below drainage?

    use the tank idea and by a cheap proline submerable pump from b&q. i use one to pump 200 gallons of sea water from my van into my aquarium it will drain down to 10 mm with a pump height of seven metres. it cost me £24. the one with a float switch on is about £35. if you're near any farms, they...

    Pipe Knocking

    yes this can happen sometimes. however i sure that it is a plumbing problem rather than your dishwasher. you've already tried the only advice i would have given. if you know a plumber ask him/her or of corse you could post your problem in the plumbing forum.

    Hotpoint aquarius dishwasher leaking

    the plastic tank you are talking about is called the metering tank. at the bottom of it you will see a black hose about 1 inch in diameter. this is the sump hose which carries the water into the wash tub. your problem is that it is partialy blocked. if you have an aqua vac simply suck out the...

    INDESIT WG1034T BRUSHES

    you don't need to turn it upside down. just access it through the back ,or at least lean it slightly forward. one thing i would suggest that you do first though is to put it on a spin cycle without the belt on. if the motor then turns without the belt on it's a chance that the armature has...

    Never Buy Anything L.G.

    i agree. i was approached by their authorised repair company who asked me to do work on their behalf in my area. however they would only supply me with spares when needed them and refused to give some "fast moving " lines as stock. i made further enquiries with some of my "in the trade" friends...

    no water

    you will need to tell us what make model and approx age your dishwasher is to get the best advice possible. however if you are able to remove the fill hose from the back of your machine, take it off and try runningater through it by turning on your supply tap. quite often the standard taps may...

    Indesit W123 - Belt keeps slipping on spin

    your machine will almost certainly have an orange sticker on it giving you a number for spares. personally i don't order from them, but a one-off retail purchase may not be as bad as you may think. also the number will be in your booklet, or try phone book for meloni domestic appliances.
