Thanks for your reply. The 64117 has not helped. The model I am considering is mounted on the machine itself and has a better chance of absorbing the shock. To install it, you undo the hose at the washing machine end and connect the female end of the arrestor directly to the washing machine. You...

I want to fit a water hammer arrestor http://www.amazon.com/Sioux-Chief-Mfg-660-H-4-Inch/dp/B000H5MQNM Picture is appended below. It has 3/4 inch male and female threads to connect to the washing machine valve and the washing machine hose. Likelihood is that the threads are American. Can...

Old wive's tale. I would like to avoid any argument with anyone. If you do get some appliance engineer who declines to even touch a machine if any alterations are made by the user, you end up wasting a lot of time arguing your case and end up with a non functioning machine.

I don't want to cut out the moulded plug as when a new machine is to be installed, the installer will decline to connect it and I have also heard that some people have had their guarantee deemed void for tampering with their machine even though the failure has nothing to do with putting a new...

It is cold feed ony. I will buy a new good quality cable rated at 13 amps.

Rated at 2800w. I will buy a new lead of good quality rated at 13 amps.

I will buy a new extension lead of good quality and rated at 13 amps.

I need to move my machine but there is no 13amp socket within reach. I do have a 13amp extension lead. Is it ok to do this? The lead is short, about 2metres long, rated at 13 amps. I will ensure there are no loops or bends in it and once positioned, it will not be moved and the machine will be...

Thanks for your answer. I just checked my appliance instructions. It is rated IPX4. Says do not use appliance where temp is less than 5DegC or more than 35DegC. Mine is an AEG.

Thanks for your clarification. The dryer is working fine. No condensation forms on it when bathroom is in use. I am however thinking of the future. Would it be permissible to install an IP66 power box ( https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Images/Products/size_3/SMWP401.JPG) in the bathroom, outside...

Thanks for your comment. The RCD is an MK 5760s, https://www.mkelectric.com/en-gb/Products/CP/sentry/RCD230Vdp/30mA/Pages/5760s.aspx

Thank you very much. I will look into this.

I am having my cold flat roof converted to a warm roof. The existing deck and roof covering are in good condition and the installer is neither removing the roof covering nor the decking. The existing roof covering is sound and will serve the purpose of a vapour barrier. I have no problems...

Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you very much for your clarification. For a while I was worried.

The mains socket is not 3m away from the bath, but it is on the other side of a brick wall in an adjacent room. The dryer is well outside zone 2, some 36 inches between the edge of the bath and the dryer.

Thanks. The socket is not 3m away. It is however on the other side of a solid brick wall. The machine is sited well outside of zone 2 some 36 inches between the edge of the bath and the nearest point of the machine. In the kitchen, it was closer than this to the sink where a well known...

These machines are sold for use in a kitchen which is not agreat deal different an environment as that in a bathroom. Whilst moving the machine from the kitchen into the bathroom, I caught sight of the rating plate and the IP rating for my machine is stated to be IP X4. That would make it...

Thanks for your help. I am now off to move the dryer into the bathroom and it will be there until my kitchen is renewed. I dont expect any problems but if there are any, all I have to do is to move it out.

Thanks just the same for your reply. It would seem you are misunderstanding what is being said here. The condenser dryer does not exhaust the moisture laden air into the atmosphere full stop. The condensate is caught inside the dryer and collects in a container. Do you understand? So how can the...
