Is that not an eraly from of Ascot Heater?

Great tip!

Does anyone have any advice on how much lighting is needed in room spaces please. We are having our kitchen lighting upgraded from two spots each rated at 80 watts and are considering normal voltage halogens. This is purlee for the ceiling, we will also be having under unit lighting above...

Thanks for all you replies, it has ben a great help. M

Chaps and any sparkettes, Would apprciate your advices on a temporary problem I am going to have to make allowance for. We are finally renewing our kitchen and a few sockets/outlets need moving. One of the moves will be an oven and its outlet (30a), but due to the new position of oven and...

Have you tried topping up the rinse aid even though the indicator doesn't suggest any is needed? How about the salt level as well? Sometimes the sensor get jammed or fail so it is worth trying a few simple manual tricks before calling an engineer.

Thanks BAS - point taken about the sleeving. I'll think about the thre pole as well while I'm about it. I've got two others in a utility room and a bathroom so I should also think about those too.

Brilliant - thanks

Thanks BAS, thought as much. We do not have a three pole isolator only a pull chord. I suppose the three pole is a means to break the circuit without having to trip the fuse out or turning the sytem off completely for maintenance purposes? Is it a legal requiremnt? When you mention...

We have a timed fan in a WC. I have just discovered it is wired using T&E with the earth wire (wrapped in red tape either end) as the live feed for the timer part of the fan. I would not have thought this is legal and four core should be used. Is the former legal. the fan itself does not...

Does anybody know a good supplier of ducting for a kitchen extractor please. Need a couple of dampers, connectors and y-pieces for a complicated job - 125mm ducting. Thanks M

Joe, Is it the machine or the girlfriend which is dribbling?

It won't be the brushes, or shouldn't be. If the machine is revolving at all it won't be the brushes. In fact unless you run the machine for 24 hrs a day, one year woul dnot be enough to wear the brushes. I would have thought the machine is not 'spining' in dry mode, but merely revolving...

Can also be heating element kaput. We had this with WFF2000, engineer went through all the unblocking procedures and then replaced the heating element. Worth checking to see if the water heats up on a wash.

Take the plug off first.

Have you tried re-set. Usually presing two of the control buttons together. Then bail out and check the re-circ pump for debris. Sounds to me like a control panel issue though.

So did we [obviously]. We went for an AEG this time - so far so good, wash is better, machine is quieter and higher spin speed. Thanks for your reply I'll not feel guilty about dumping it now.

Washer is now in the garage - will keep it there until next saturday when the dump beckons, so post if you want it.

Your control panel has probably gone. We had similar problems with our Bosch - not sure which model, however, repair man arrived under extended warranty and replaced the conrol panel. It has been replaced twice now.

it may be the pump then or alternatively something in the control panel. Incidentally our motor just packed up and I replaced the brushes to no avail, so we are about to invest in a new machine. You would be welcome to canabalise our machine for spares if you like. I am in the Chislehurst...
