Cleaned out our Iron Steam Generator, with a mixture or Limescale cleaner, and lemon juice as a natural way to get rid of the limescale build up. Worked a treat and its never been more powerful, however the steam and iron now smells with a weird fusty smell? Any simple tips on removing this...

Thank you, yes I did think this. Is there any particular way you take yours apart and which parts to clean specifically on this model? Thanks

We have a Rowenta DG940 Steam Iron but its suddenly stopped steaming? I didn't know whether there was a simple fix for this before we bought a new one? Looks like its a common problem, whether this model or others in the same range?

Thank you. In my quest to find out more about this, THIS video seems to explain it well, with the door not shutting and the same hinges! Not sure what the hinges are called exactly but have also tried to look on eBay for the same part number (there is no part or description on the...

Fridge

Have an internal built in Fridge from Siemens and now the hinge / bracket seems to have gone at the bottom and I can't shut the door? It resists on closing and pings open about 3 inches with some resistance when it closes? My wife said that a small curly piece of metal shot out the other day...

Thanks! I know I've seen it before, even a rubber sort with a prong in the middle that fits in the middle join of the door, that you push in, and the two opposite lips overlap the 2 doors.. Its only in the middle of the doors where they close. So around the hinged part etc is fine.

I noticed on both of our French doors that around the lock part where the doors come together and close, there is a roaring draught coming in!! I wondered as these wont be opened for another 6 months or so and kept locked and closed, is there such a thing as a Vertical Door Draught Excluders...

Thanks for this, and I am looking at getting out there to reseal but if you look at the pics, it looks like it the water sits in a pool at the bottom, and theres no evidence of if dripping up from where the glass is? This seems to only affect the front (north face) of the house. There is a...

Ok thank you. So remove the side beads all the way around (inc top?) and seal between the glass and the wood right into the cracks? I have found I have some "sticks like sh*t" sealer which is supposed to be better than silicone and can even stick to wet wood etc and prevent mildew/rot ...

Thank you! I will get some of that silicone asap! So your picture, is that to show what they haven't done? or to show me to remove the beads outside and seal behind them? As mentioned I think this maybe coming from the bottom and seeping through as it doesn't 'drip' as such and seeps in to...

We had some long drop windows at the front (north facing) of our house, and its been an ongoing problem with heavy rain downpours, that we get water leak/seep into the wood on the inside? The builder who put these in has suddenly gone AWOL after re-sealing them twice! and water is still getting...

I mean a a metal twinwall style flue that goes through the wall then runs up the outside of the house.. I have seen that Before lighting the fire stack, keep a couple of pieces of newspaper nearby to roll up to act as torches. Light the torches and hold them in the flue area of the wood...

Does anyone know the best way to deal with this (hope this is in the correct forum?) Anyway we have a woodburner with a chimney going through an outside wall. With the cold weather, after lighting this, the smoke seems to blow back and fill the room. I hear this is quite common and you...

I think it needs to be subtle (unlike them)..

Thank you AronSearle - any ideas what i could do in return? :roll: :?

We are still living next door (either side!) of some terrible neighbours that seem to be jealous of the improvements to our property. We live in a line of properties in the Cotswolds, facing out to a wonderful view, into a valley, overlooking a horse field (theirs again too!). We have had...
