    gas pipe connector for cooker

    Lot's of replies, with loads of commonsense...... has anybody checked to see if this cooker has got the required safety devices? it's supposedly only three years old.

    Insert small piece of music in thread?

    You'd have to click on to open it, otherwise it would just play each time when the topic is opened, I think. With a picture one "stores" it on e.g. photobucket, a video on "youtube", then each generates a link, to then embed it, but I cannot find how to deal with this musical item which would...

    Insert small piece of music in thread?

    Okay, I wanted to know how, if it can be done, a small piece of music could be placed into a thread, to emphasize a point, not nasty, not a full tune.

    Insert small piece of music in thread?

    Is it possible for me to insert a little piece of music which I think is relevant into a thread, in the form of a wave file? similar to how we insert an image?

    Pipe freezing kits

    I have used the kit one buys at Wickes. You can also obtain the aerosol on it's own. Put the wrap on, introduce the gas, while that is freezing you can set up the job; to reduce the pressure turn off the mains stop-cock. I found them very useful.

    Testing Electric Cooker on standard extension cable

    Ah, that suggests my plan is right, thanks. It is awkward, but I just need to know everything is fine to then formulate the next part of the plan.

    Suspect bra wire in washing machine

    Possibly the item is now near the element. If you can't see it through the sump, try taking the element out and attempt to spot it from there.

    Testing Electric Cooker on standard extension cable

    I have an electric cooker (Hotpoint HUE52) that I want to establish has all bits working. I collected it and put it in my garage for cleaning, have tested all by continuity tests, but I supply power normally by standard extension cable, from a normal socket in my maisonette (first floor). I do...

    Fridge Freezer problem

    Very helful comments, thanks. Main reason I went for the thermostat, it's the only bit I can see I can do anything with. Well I wired it in and got the same results, so it may well be what you have suggested. Now going to get a new appliance as the advice seems to be that it's old and...

    Fridge Freezer problem

    Went to change the thermostat this morning and found that the recieved item is slightly different, i.e. there is a horizontal terminal between the earth points? on the original there is a combined connector on one terminal apart from the obvious switch terminal. (hello drawing board again)...

    Good Campsites

    Crikey we used to go there when we were kids (40+ years ago). Lovely spot, great for swimming and fishing, and the RAF used to use it for helicopter rescue practise.

    Thanks for that John, this is not a new unit, and with the current current fault, it's using loads of lecci!

    Fridge Freezer problem

    I would say then that I manually defrost, occasionally. Not sure what information the observation of the electricity use would provide. I am inclined to replace the thermostat/temperature control, as that will be the cheapest option, whilst I keep my eyes open for a replacement.

    Fridge Freezer problem

    Now that is a good question, I don't know. It is not a recent item, I have owned it (second hand) for over sixteen years, and I cannot find any specs. online. It now seems to stay on for a very long time, I've not noticed it going off for many hours now. If I turn the control down, it goes...

    Removing On/Off Switch on Hotpoint VTD00

    How does one get the switch out of the panel on a Hotpoint VTD00? behind is a tiny hole but I cannot see that inserting anything will release it.
