    Bosch Classixx Dishwasher Went POP

    Got it - clip-on type right where you said :) It certainly appears to be the culprit - two massive splits in the case and all sooty black. Just need to find a replacement and then work out where that pipe coming from the centre of the right side of the main body of the machine is supposed...

    Bosch Classixx Dishwasher Went POP

    OK - lid off. The top edge of the side panel was hooked over ridges towards the front and rear. I don't think I'd have been able to lift it off those with the lid in place. Now to work out what I'm looking at - I take it the suppressor is just the whacking great capacitor on the side of the...

    Bosch Classixx Dishwasher Went POP

    Thanks zipper. How would I get to the suppressor? The side panel doesn't come as far forward as the front plate under the door. There is a small plastic plate (about 6" high x 2" wide) attached with one screw to the end of the front plate and the main side panel is free from this. It seems to...

    Bosch Classixx Dishwasher Went POP

    Hi, My Bosch Classixx Dishwasher stopped working between uses (no lights at all). Found the 13A fuse in the plug had gone. On replacing it and switching power socket on there was loud POP from somewhere near the bottom rear of the thing. Plug fuse is still intact as is circuit fuse, but no...

    Tips On Best Way to Tackle This

    Thanks for the replies and ideas. I'll be running it in 15mm copper as I have 6 or 7 2m lengths left over from previous jobs - and I have bought a drain off to put in the bottom of the drop :) Good idea about the stud detector, I have one knocking around the garage somewhere, I've never...

    Tips On Best Way to Tackle This

    Hi Not sure this is the best place to put this but I'm thinking you guys will probably have the best idea about how to go about this :) Mid terrace (2 up 2 down) property with a Valliant combi shoved right at the back in the usual extension (kitchen and shower room). Thanks to the CH...

    Suggestion / Discussion: Combustion Chamber user tag ++ ?

    @ Tony You hit the point of this thread on the head - inconsistency. Deletion of corgi logos from signatures - a good thing - anyone could put one in there. Hence the idea of maybe putting something under a poster's name in the uneditable section. I'm not going to be drawn into the...

    Suggestion / Discussion: Combustion Chamber user tag ++ ?

    This may seem like it would be better placed in the Forum Information section as it is about the operation of this section of the forum as a whole rather than being an individual problem question. But I think it's best here - as a discussion item that should involve members in this...

    Potterton Puma 80e Overheat on DHW

    OK embarassment embarassment :oops: The DHW switch was sticking on intermittently. It seems the diaphragm / rod assembly is getting lazy - i.e. it's not moving very much at all. I've adjusted the switch out a bit and it seems to be making and breaking reliably now. But I'm sure not for too...

    Potterton Puma 80e Overheat on DHW

    While running DHW, in the short time before it overheats, if I turn the HW temp control down the flames reduce in size and vice versa. Beyond that there doesn't seem to be any kind of modulation i.e. it fires up with a certain flame size which remains constant until it overheats. But I seem...

    Potterton Puma 80e Overheat on DHW

    The overheat occurs while the DHW is still running (tap open). The switch does move properly when the tap is turned off and the red light on the board goes out as expected.

    Potterton Puma 80e Overheat on DHW

    Hi :) Into my 4th year keeping this lump running thanks to you guys' help :D Latest problem is a very rapid overheating (kettles, steam blows out of AAV) followed by lockout when running DHW. The CH is working absolutely perfectly. Similar happened a couple of years back and turned out...

    Why brown sediment in the F&E?

    So let me get this right, you're saying: a. You deliberately post incorrect information for your own amusement. b. You don't give a toss what the result of that might be. ?? Quite unbelievable :roll: All the time in the world to misinform them? Why bother? Again - Quite...

    Why brown sediment in the F&E?

    Bamber - Do you not think it somewhat irresponsible to deliberately post factually incorrect information on a DIY site - which unwitting DIYers may then presume is correct? Think on fella.

    Why brown sediment in the F&E?

    Pray tell Bamber, why when the CH system water expands as it is heated it would not expand up the feed pipe into the F+E ? It's just an open pipe.... what is there to possibly stop the expanding water from moving up this pipe. Clearly the outlet of the vent pipe is at a higher level than the...

    Connecting on-line but without phone.

    chainsaw Which ISP is this with? This is relevant as it may determine whether they would have had to do any physical work to your line to take over your calls package. ISPs such as Talk Talk and Tiscali, if they have their own voice equipment in your exchange (MSAN rather than DSLAM), will...

    Hi I have a Valliant TurboMAX 837e installed on a system of 6 rads (only 3 with TRVs) which once up to temperature is cycling on for about 2 minutes, off for about 1 minute, then back on for 2 etc. continuously. There are no external controls connected, only the clock unit in the boiler...
