Hello, My central heating system is fairly old and has been modified a few times. Right now I have a sealed, pressurised system with a single pump and two motorised valves controlling the hot water and central heating. The boiler is a traditional floor standing unit about 10 years old...

Hello, I have a very old kitchen extractor fan which I would like to replace. The current unit extracts via an air brick. It's ducted properly and it looks to have a 5" round to air brick converter on the inside of the wall (no gas in the kitchen and there are other vents). I would...

Hello, I currently have a double oven with a total draw of 6.8kw and a hob with a draw of 6kw connected to a single 40 amp cooker switch wired in to a 30 amp fuse. I'm looking to update this and would like an induction hob with a draw of 7.2kw. I have been told this is possible by: -...

Hello, My heating system is poorly configured with pumps on both the heating and hot water circuits - i know I'll have to do something about this at some point but... I am able to remove air from the CH system via the rads but I struggle to get the air out of the heating. The hot water...

Hi there, My dishwasher (SGS43E02/GB) is acting a little strange. Most of the time, when I switch on, it goes though without any issues, however sometimes it stalls and the program light flashes with a clicking sound. I have looked at the display and the sound is coming from around the...

Hello, I have cold house and large heating bills so would like to be able to switch off heating to the upstairs for points during the day. On the outlet from the boiler I have two pipes being hot water and CH. The CH splits into two, one for up and the other for down. Could I fit...

Yes sure - I have a single line with multiple phone points - bedroom x2, kitchen, lounge landing & hall. I don't have a master socket. I have a grey two wired wire coming from the street which runs to a connection box. Here it it connected to three "extensions" [?] - one for upstairs, one...

Thanks for the above but I cannot find a master socket in my house. In the loft I have a very small connector where the external wire is connected to the internal wires. So I can't find a capacitor anywhere. All my phones have ADSL filters on them as I also use the line for broadband...

Hi there, Could somebody please help me, I have a BT system and without any change, the system has stopped ringing. If I call the system from my mobile and pickup the phone, a connection is made, but the system doesn't ring. This was working okay on Friday and then stopped. I didn't...

Hot water flow and return. thanks.

Managed to bleed a little but not much.

thank you Tony. One thing I have noticed is that the system does have air in it. I have tried to flush this into the rads to bleed it but should I be doing this with an open tap to feed the expansions tank? Could my problem be an overheat when a large air bubble goes through the system?

I did use thermal transfer paste and the pump is set to 2. The system runs using pumps rather than motor valves and at time of overheat, both the flow and return pipes are redhot. the presure gage on the pressure vessel is set to 1 1/2 which I was told was about right? thanks.

thanks for the feedback. The heating system has been converted to a closed system with a pressure vessel. Prior to this work, the system was fully powerflushed. thanks.

Hi there, I mean the thermister which goes into the boiler body. thanks.

I would really appreciate some help here as I'm coming to the end of things to test. At this moment I know: The boiler flow (to and from) the hotwater cylinder is okay The pump works fine If I inhibit flow for a very short period and then open, the hot water return heats very...

Hi there, The temp setting runs from 1 to 11. With the boiler set to 4, it overheats / locks out. Does this suggest the internal thermostate is faulty? thanks.

Thanks Tony for the quick response. The pump is whizzing and if I remove the screw, I can see the propeller spinning. If I change the setting (i to iii), the tone of the pump changes and the whole system becomes noiser as more water is pumped around. I'll search around for the FAQs to see if...

Tony, Thank you very much for the help. I've noticed the following: 1. The pipes coming from the boiler are red hot when the lockout occurs meaning the lockout is as a result of an overheat(?) 2. The lockout occurs during the afternoon cycle when the on-period is longer and the...

Thanks Tony. It is an MF and does have a PCB. Do you think it's likely to be the PCB with a fault?
