My wife is not happy, she was looking forward to have a brand new washing machine with drier....

All done now, little heat with heat gun helped a lot. Washing machine now working fine and noisless

The bearing can go either way,as far as I can see it is symetric.

OK this is exactly how I am doing it but it is just much harder to gett them in and was wondering if I was doing it right....

Hi all, I managed to remove (destroy) the bearings of a washing machine Indesit W123 and bought the replacement set yesterday. I cleaned up the surface and added some Vaseline but it seems quite hard to get them in. I am using a wooden block and big hammer. Is there any alternative way to...

I thought about that too. I may do both. Thanks

Hi I am about to cover the loft floor with new chipboards and I noticed that there is some kind of Polystyrene granulates between beams acting as insulation rather than the usual yellow “rolled” insulation. My question is, is it worth replacing the granulates by new modern loft insulation? Or...

It is an Energysaver , how on earth do you know??. I took a look inside when the engineer opened it up and there was rust everywhere and the asbestos was peeling off so even if it was fixed I would not consider it safe. The idea of a second hand one seems plausible as many houses decide to get...

Hi all, My old boiler died last week and we are considering some options. We wanted to have a combi boiler at some point but I have been told it will be between 4 and 5K and we will need to wait for two years in order to be able to afford it. In the meantime I was told that installing a...

Hi all, I have got a Glow Worm Energysaver 40 Condensed boiler and the ignition system stopped working a few days ago. The boiler turns on but the ignition spark does not even attempt to ignite. I took a look at the main PCB and it looks fine (nothing has seem to blown up) although one of...

I have a Glow worm Energy saver 40 boiler and I had it running this summer for the hot water only. A few times I noticed that water came a bit cold from the taps but the boiler still worked. I turned on the heating to check and it took a while to start but it worked. The boiler now does not turn...

You are right, it was easier than I thought, just needed to follow manual instructions and it took me 10 seconds to do. Thanks

Hi all, I bought a set of panasonic cordless phones brand new from the car-boot thinking that the base was included but it was not. I have one base with cordless phone at home but the frequency does not seem to be the same as the panasonic ones. Is there a way to match both frequencies or do...

Hi my shed roof need replacement. I have the usual wooden planks covered in felt but i would like to use a more durable material like policarbonate or fibreglas corrugated or non corrugated. Anyone can tell me what would be the best alternative for a roof of 2.40 x 2 metres?

Hi I was installing refurbished old doors upstairs when I noted that the door frame is not quite squared so the doors look as if they are falling to the right. The side of the frame hinges is about 1cm shorter than the opposite side and the effect can be seen in the pictures. Is there any way...

Thanks for the replies. Can you clarify what do you mean by pack out the door stop?
