Hi, I've just laid DARK OAK wood floor on the entire first floor of the house. The cuts on the edges are straight and quite tidy along skirting boards, so I was thinking of just adding brown silicone (as seen by us in a few newly built houses) instead of scotia beads like this...

Could you please advise on how to reseat?

Hi, Do you mean seat of washer in the cartridge or the metal seat of the main tap body?

Hi Charnwood, Yes its a hexagonal nut but I never thought it would come out or hold the washer as it did not seem that way looking at it. I will need a vice to hold this if I am to try and remove this nut. I am attaching another pic for your reference. [/URL] Uploaded with...

Hi, I've a mixer tap that is dripping from the hot water side. I've removed the cartridge and there is a rubber washer at the bottom. It seems to be 3/4 inch with a hole in the middle. When measured, its 17mm diameter to be precise and its not coming off. I've already damaged it slightly...

Hi Terox, Ordered new switch online and installed. It seems to be working fine now. Many thanks for your help once again. Best regards.

Hi, I am attaching another pic after opening the cooker. The white wire from fan is attached to the thermal switch at center-front that is enclosed in yellow rubber. The fan stopped when the white wire was removed from this switch. The blue wire from fan is going into a hole, don't know...

Hi Terox, I've not managed to open the cooker again. The cooker is at my mum's place and I've not really had much time yet. However I've the part number and serial number for you. Model number: 050531036 Serial number: 10354897 As you said, Its a STOVES make, model is NEWHOME. Can...

Hi Terox, I managed to open up the cooker hotplate but could not find the thermal cut-in swtich (60-70 deg rating) as you advised. I am attaching a pic here. I did find the thermal cut out switch that was enclosed in yellow rubber towards the center front. Please advise where is the...

Thanks Terox, That was well explained. When it was working properly before, the cooling fan used to come on a few minutes after the grill was lit, it was not related to grill door I think. Now I need to open the grill and get the thermal cut in switch. Its the one that is inline with...

Hi, I do have a multi-meter. Exact location of thermal cut-in switch would be beneficial to know. This a gas cooker with seperate grill and oven compartments, so where is the hotplate? (I've uploaded a front pic) Would removing the backplate help to locate the thermal switch...

Hi Jackrae, There does not seem to be any switch for the grill or the oven door (only a catch for the oven door). Also if you read my description again, the fan used to come on when the oven or grill (separate compartments) used to get warm, not when their doors were opened. The fan...

Hi, I inherited a gas cooker with my house 7 years ago. Its a standard cooker with 4 hobs and a grill and a oven. There is an extractor fan that kicks in after a few minutes of use of GRILL and OVEN and it TURNS OFF automatically as well (Normally a few minutes after the grill/ oven is...

Hi, The lockshields are open. The pump is at speed 2, should I try running it at speed 3? I am also skeptical about this thermostatic valve. Please refer to pic with the bare valve without the cover. Can I try opening any of the two nuts to see if water flows through? (never opened them...

Hi, I have just added 2 small radiators to a newly built extension. The pipework can be seen in the attached image. I thought it would be best to connect the pipework from the 2 22mm drain pipes that were available next to each other. The radiators are about 3-4 meters away from these...

Hi, I've the following Floplast 3 port inspection chamber installed in my garden: http://www.screwfix.com/p/mini-access-chamber-300mm-base/18837 I now need to connect a 40mm drain pipe from a shower into one of the inlets. So I dug up and came aross what is shown in the image. Am I supposed...

Yes I worked that out. If you short pin 9 and 10 (black and brown), the fan would always run at high speed. Wonder why they wanted to slow down the fan (something related to efficiency)? Also if you notice the second board in my links above, the part number on the board itself is...

how many boilers equates to "You seem to have a lot of boilers!" Maybe I can make it easier for you, If I've 2 houses, how many boilers do I ought to have? P.S. Hope you enjoyed the old fan PCB that I sent to you (@NW10).

Hi I've a Ravenheat HE85T boiler, very similar to CSI85T model. Recently, the boiler has been constantly re-lighting on both CH and DHW and sometimes the red (overheat) light comes on. I checked the thermisters, they were OK. Replaced the DHW (wet pocket type) with a known good...

Thought of a shower tray but I've an awkward size of around 95 by 105 cm. I was thinking of making a nicely tiled shower/ wet room as that would utilize the full space. Also if I don't dig the floor, the drain pipe would come out of wall in the garden at a point which would be visible from...
