I know we are a few months on but if you do nt have the engineers code simply reset the alarm back to factory settings (look in the manual). This will then default both the engineers code and the entry code back to the original ones and you can set your own. The maual is quite good at telling...

Following my previous post I've now attached photos of the fuse location.

I know it may be a little late but hopefully this may help people having the same issue at some point. I had the same problem and, having tested the soldered power fuse F5, I assumed it was the transformer. I tested the power in to the connector block and it was OK. After further investigation...

Hi, we had the same problem with a box room. In the end I stripped off the plaster dot and dabbed it with 25mm (insulation + board) insulated board;. Whilst it is not very thick it has done the job. It has improved the warmth in the room. On removing the plaster I found that an air brick...

Hi, I had a problem with the above machine but lots of Hoover machines are similar. It would not start the cycle and cane up with E08 error code. I found this relates to the motor and is usually to do with the carbon brushes on the motor. I found this site which shows how to change them (quite...

Hi ydrol, if the mold is black it is more than probable that it is due to condensation. The lack of ventilation causes this and although you may have trickle vents in the widows they are not always that effective. You should also check that your air bricks have not been blocked up (I found...

This is not an issue but some info for others that may have the same problem. I have a Baumatic BD1631 and the wheels on the lower basket have all broken over time. I was horrified to see the price on some sites was £15 per wheel!!! or on Ebay 8 for £30 so I did some research and found the same...

Update .... New panel now installed and working fine - must have been a fault on the old Optima panel Should have bought a new one to start with and saved all the anguish!

You can buy a tool to get into awkward places (see pic) - not sure what it is called

Hi, I suggest that you give your local council planning department a call and have a chat with the inspector who is signing off the work. Clearly the builder will have to meet building regs and the inspector is the best person to give you information. However, the steels will need to sit fully...

Hey Sparkymarka. Thanks for your help but I have given up on it. I decided the time and effort wasn't worth it as a new panel is only around £40 and the Optima panel is an old one anyway so I've bought a new Veritas8. I have connected it all up and it seems to be working OK - a few minor...

I don't know I hadn't thought of testing that option. Will have a go tomorrow and let you know

No, as far as I can see the resistor is not burnt - is your line of thinking that it is a power surge when the main power feed is switched on and therefore it is blowing the internal fuse?

Thanks SparkyMarka - the battery is brand new

Hi, getting frustrated!!! I've been trying to replace the bell box with a new Honeywell AG6 bell box. I have managed to get it connected up and it works fine when the battery in the panel is connected. However, when I apply mains power it gives off a continuous beeping sound (I think this is...
