I thought I'd solved this but the problem it has returned. Had problems recently with the top oven of our double hotpoint oven tripping the house circuit breaker. Found one of the grill elements had gone. Replaced that and everything was ok for 2 days. The problem has returned. What ever...

Thanks to all those that took the time to read this. Traced the problem to one of the grill heating elements.

Switch assembly looks ok. Can't see anything wrong. Any other ideas?

I'll give it a go, thanks.

Our double oven has been working fine for the last 7 years. In the last week the top oven has started tripping the main house circuit breaker when you try to turn it on to set the temperature. If you turn the power off, then select the temperature and then turn the power back on it is fine...

Ok, cool thanks. Just never heard it with the old fan. That maybe explains why the the pilot light would go out sometimes before!

We had a problem last week with our boiler. British Gas changed the fan and that sorted it. But the fan now runs when there is no heating or hot water demand, should this be the case? thanks in advance.

Hello all, Our combi boiler seems to be working fine for both heating and water. But when you listen it keeps firing up and shutting down about every 30secs. Surely that can't be right? It hasn't been serviced for a while, I intended getting it done in the summer (hopefully it will be...

Ok, thanks for the advice. Your solution would be the safest.

Our felt garage roof is leaking and needs replacing. I want to do the job myself for the experience and to save cost so I was going to go for EPDM. Then I got wondering about putting a pitch on. It's only a single garage approx 3mx5m so not too big. My concern is over the extra weight of the...

Ok, cheers fellas.

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere but I couldn't find it and need an answer asap. My built in electric oven needs replacing. If I get a new one of similar rating can I replace it myself? Is it notifiable under part P? I keep reading and re-reading the guidelines, on one hand it says you can...

Excellent! Thanks fella's.

I need to source a pair of 8mm / 1/2" in-line radiator valves. Not bothered if they are Thermostatic or standard. But I'm struggling! Does anyone know if they are actually available? Thanks in advance.

Update. I balenced the system and it didn't help the problem. I decided to drain the offending radiator. I'm thinking the problem was some kind of airlock in the radiator. While the water was draining out of the bottom, I opened the bleed valve at the top and was still getting water out of...

croydencorgi, The boiler fired up and continued running as normal. We got a bit of 'gurgling' from 1/2 cold radiator.

Ok, cheers fella's.

We've got a Vokera Combi boiler. I've recently replaced one of the ground floor radiators for a column radiator (the 4th one I've done in the last 2 years as we've gradually decorated the house). This meant draining down and re-soldering small section of the pipework. The other occasions I...

I feel I need to have a dose of humble pie! I turned the pump speed back up to 3 and it went back to making the noise. I tried the 'monkey test' on the fulcrum arm and it did indeed stop the noise. A spot of strategically placed WD40 has sorted that out and it is a quiet as a sleeping baby...

Oh, and just to clarify, I never posted the query, I was offering my experience with what seems like the same symtoms.
