The instruction/operating manual on page 6 states 180C. (link below) I too wondered if it should have been in degreesF. Samsung tech helpline were unable to advise. They transferred me to a comapny who fit cookers, etc in Essex, despite fact that they know I live in Hants! I spent at least 35...

Hi Ericmark, The question has arisen due to the fact that I am unable to obtain a 180C cable or an equivalent, that is why I asked the question if anyone could advise as to how to proceed. Perhaps a supplier's name would be helpful. I was not trying to ignore the manufacturer's instructions.

Thanks EFLI, as you may have noticed from the pic I submitted, there is no overheating damage to the cable (which I guess would be about 20+ years old). There is some age discolouring and dust on it. The leccy I contacted said that the cable would be fine, but I was not sure.

Hello all, I need some advice please: I am in the process of replacing my 20 year old 4-ring Thorn ceramic hob (which has one halogen ring on it) with a similar but Samsung C61R2AEE ceramic one without a halogen ring. The rating of the old hob is 6.0Kw and the new Samsung is rated at 6.5Kw...

Wiring for hob

Thanks Dan, was just toying with the same thoughts as you about using the serial number, manufacture date, etc., from the data label. Was also wondering if the warranty would be honoured with just this info??

Hi Compheat, Its 2 plumbers, not 3 that seem to think it is the cylinder. The original chap who fitted this system has retired. The expansion tank, as I said earlier was replaced about 5 years ago and this chap seems to think that the current leak is due to some corrosion in the cylinder...

Hi Dan_Robinson, was wondering if there is some reliable plumber you could suggest in the area covering North London???? You obviously are in the trade.....

Hi, It now transpires that the expansion tank in the cylinder was changed 5 years ago because the system could not be pressurised or would not hold the pressure. The plumber who replaced the expansion tank says there could be corrosion in the cylinder (not the expansion tank) therefore the...

Thanks to both the contributors. Will ensure a qualified plumber tackles this job. Unfortunately the person who fitted this system 8 years ago has now retired to sunnier climes :D

Great stuff Dan-Robinson, thanks for the info. Will ensure the plumber is aware. Helpful forum here. :)

Thanks for the additional info Compheat. Dan_Robinson: the plumber should take care of the tpv?? Is tpv some sort of thermal valve?

Hi Compheat, Many thanks. Presumably the top of the cylinder has a dry compartment and no danger of flooding if the top is lifted. I tried looking for a parts list for this model on Telford website mainly to get a picture of the internal arrangement, but no joy. (also to see if I could...

Hello compheat, I noticed that there was a red cylinder tank mounted on the outside and above the hot water tank. Is there also an expansion tank inside the cylindrical water tank? Sorry to display my ignorance, but would there be a source of leak at the top of the hot water tank (cylinder)...

Thanks Doitall, was wondering about this after I spoke to my sister. The plumber seems to imply that the warranty does not cover the area of the problem?? Is there a fix for this problem in case the warranty does not cover this problem?

Hi all, My sister has aTelford Tornado unvented copper hot water tank which was fitted about 8 years ago. It has now sprung a leak from a lower outlet. The outlet has a threaded fitting, but the leak appears to be coming from the fitting that is part of the tank rather than the joint at the...

Its a Wickes Aquatronic 2 Ultra rated at 8.5kW which is fitted. There is also a 9.5kw model available and the spec says 40 amp fuse for both of them.

Hi, Many thanks. I will carry out the resistance check. By the way, when the consumer unit was first fitted, the RCD used to trip off whenever there was the slightest thunder/lightning in the area!! After a while the the RCD was changed as it was too sensitive, and has behaved well...

Hi, Thanks for coming back. The setting is always on 1 red (red 2 is too hot and trips almost straight away beyond the 3 selection out 10) On cold setting, I have not had it running too long so have not experienced a cut off.
