Thanks, I have just tried that but the product number comes back as unrecognised - it is an old freezer. I have emailed Electrolux UK and will see if they can help with any further information.

We have an Electrolux freezer (TF776) which has given great service up until the last time we defrosted it. When we plugged it back there was a bang and a fair bit of smoke from near the compressor which has come from the Compressor relay ( it is now totally destroyed). Because of the...

I am posting on behalf of an elderly relative who has just been told that her CH boiler is beyond economical repair. She has a Servowarm Elite boiler 21 which has been on a service contract since it was installed (she thinks about 9 years ago). The boiler gets serviced every year and last...

Thanks, Forgive my ignorance but why do I need to paint it if I am going to cover it with plasterboard?

I am trying to eliminate draughts and have found that there is a lot of cold air coming from the cupboard under the stairs. I was having a look to see what gaps I can block up and it seems that the underneath of the stairs has been covered with a thin sheet material that looks suspiciously...

Been using the above shower for about ten years, over this time it has had a new cartridge (under warranty) and a new pump fitted. It is now demonstrating a problem whereby the temperature dial has to be near enough on max in order to get a comfortable shower, I am guessing that the cartridge...

Hi, We had some work done on the damp proof course at the front bay of our house a few years back. As is normal, the plaster inside was removed and the wall replastered. What we now have are two patches about 0.5 sq feet each on either side of the bay which appear periodically to be damp...

Hi, My wife has the above car and she tells me that it has started making a loud screaching noise intermittently. It comes and goes randomly and may be lasts for a minute or so at a time. The noise can stop and then start again within a few minutes or it can be silent for a few days and...

We have a couple of original stain glass windows (c1910) in our hall way. They are in reasonable condition for their age but there are some cracks in parts of the coloured glass and a few areas where the Lead has 'shrunk' away from the glass leaving small gaps causing draughts. The two...

Sorry, can't offer any useful suggestions but you may get a better response if you post this in the 'Decorating and Painting' forum.

I am going to paint a rendered outhouse wall with masonry paint, there are a few small areas near the top of the wall whee the render has fallen off and I would like to patch these prior to painting. As I say, this is only an outhouse so I am not looking for a perfect repair but I would like...

Sorry if this is a relly naive question but I have a previously painted outhouse wall where the paint is flaking off badly, I intend to take a wire brush to the surface and then treat with stabilising solution before re-painting. Just one question - I can get Granocryl masonry paint at a very...

I did look at pathclear, but the info seems to suggest that it is recommended for gravel surfaces rather than block paving, do you think that it would be effective on my application? Regarding salt, I guess that this is very similar chemically to Sodium Chlorate - I notice that you suggest...

Hi, I have just powerwashed and re-sanded my block paved drive. I am now looking at the most effective way of keeping it weed free, I always used to use Sodium Chlorate which was cheap and worked well - now that this is no longer available I wondered what suggetions there are for an effective...
