Yes but I'd have to look in the van for the ones I use. They're proving reliable. Standard stock in CEF anyways.

You might have got water inside the motor when you tilted the machine. Water on floor suggests obviously that water is leaking in to the base and I believe E15 is the error message to say the base is filling with water. I had one where the motor started smoking after getting water into it. Once...

My guess is there'll be a thermostat that has failed. I have a range cooker with two ovens. One lights up but stays on pilot, which is what I think is happening here. I think it'll be the thermostat, but since the other oven works I've not bothered repairing it yet.

IDF125? Might tell you in troubleshooting guide if you download the manual. http://www.indesitservice.co.uk/manual/

Some of the air con units on the market these days, the ones with reversible pumps for heating, they claim amazing efficiency. I've seen one for around a grand that's over SCOP 5. I think that means 500% plus efficiency although I admit I haven't done the real homework on them. I'm looking for...

Do you mean the water is getting through the motor seal and underneath, into where the actual motor and various electric components are situated?

One guy's MIL could be another guy's MILF

Don't forget Lemmy, he was a legend. Then there's Keith Emerson.

I see now. I haven't had this problem but a quick look on the web leaves me certain that you're correct in suggesting the solenoid which is also called a water inlet valve. Likely it's passing a little when closed due to limescale deposits inside the component. Youtube videos show how to change...

Which is a relatively easy job, should that be the case.

Is it filling constantly and emptying at the same time whilst trying to run a cycle? If so then the flowmeter requires replacing.

I believe I misinterpreted this to mean water in the base of the machine. i.e. underneath where the motor and pump are housed. I've had a couple of drinks now so will read again tomorrow.

The pump seal gets grimy and then starts to leak in to the base. It can be cleaned or preferably changed (change it) but requires taking the machine base off. How far were you planning to go with this job? There are videos on Youtube where you can see generally what's involved in taking these...

Yes but surely Thames Water would inform you in advance of the work should they decide to charge for the job.

So the water authority have made it worse. Here's a section on the changes made to drainage rules in October 2011. It's not Thames Water but still the same rules apply. https://www.southernwater.co.uk/sewer-ownership-changes I suspect they're just trying it on but I'm no expert. I know that...

When I get chance to get the ladders back up there I'll take a pic. They're the so called Yorkshire Stone tiles and will be very old so I'm not keen on removing or trying to lift them as they may crack or, could turn into a bigger job anyway.

Hi, Guttering question. My house is about 150 years old and the guttering is a trough built into the top of the wall. Stone tiles on the roof and the gutter doesn't protrude over the edge. I don't know what you call this system but it's lead lined and I don't think it's sound. The lead doesn't...

P Initial fault on the motor of the old fan may have caused the transformer secondary (12v side) to also fail. Lit up means there's mains to the unit but doesn't guarantee that the transformer is working. A new fan is unlikely to be faulty. Can happen of course but more likely the wiring as...

If it's AC then I'm certain it would work either way around but I wouldn't swap the wires and I don't think for one minute that it would make a difference anyway. 12v AC is ELV (extra low voltage) so it's reasonably safe to be able to test the fan supply wiring live with a voltmeter or...

I couldn't see that model online. Saw a XF100LV. The fan is 12v AC is it? I assume the transformer is correct. Do you own a multimeter?
