    STABILIZE MOTOR ON ELECTROLUX Z355 CYLINDER CLEANER

    I didn't get any assistance on my earlier question on how to remove the rear housing (clear plastic moulding) behind the motor, but managed to do it. The motor works fine, but had been twisting on its mountings and had pulled one of the supply cables off the connector to one of the field...

    CANNON FOLDAWAY GRILL ON A133 SD/U COOKER: BURNER TUBE

    Thanks, but it's the grill burner tube that I need. If you have kept the rotisserie to mount separately then you have obviously also kept the grill burner tube! The problem with our grill burner tube was that the lug which supports it on the left side had bent and fatigued and had started to...

    REPLACE MOTOR ON ELECTROLUX (Z)355 CYLINDER CLEANER

    This 1983 Electrolux cylinder cleaner is in excellent condition, and has been carefully maintained. About 15 years ago the motor was replaced. This was fitted by a local "Hoover" shop as I did not know how to do the job, which was obviously not straightforward. It is an excellent and...

    DRAYTON ZA6 MOTORISED VALVE DOES NOT STOP FLOW

    Well, Invesnsys would defend their own product, wouldn't they?! I'm not surprised if it is a common problem, given the design of the valve itself and the manner in which the paddle has to be held closed to pumped water pressure! The spring seems fine, and clearly applies what appears to be...

    DRAYTON ZA6 MOTORISED VALVE DOES NOT STOP FLOW

    The central heating was modernized very radically in 1997, using Drayton's "Lifestyle" plan. Previously, the system (1968) had gravity hot water and pump for the rads only. The pump was in the large floor mounted boiler cabinet in the utility room and there were no motorized valves. There was...

    DRAYTON ZA6 MOTORISED VALVE DOES NOT STOP FLOW

    Thanks, Rick! Invensys technical suggest trying the actuator of the 22 mm valve on the 28 mm one. I will, but this assumes that the dhw valve actuator does not have the same problem - if it does, one is unlikely to notice as there are no radiators on the dhw primary circuit to get slightly...

    DRAYTON ZA6 MOTORISED VALVE DOES NOT STOP FLOW

    As already explained, on this Drayton valve body there is no flow direction arrow (just A and B port markings), but it can't possibly have been fitted the wrong way round, for all the reasons already stated. Thank you for your concern, but the problem is not at the sort of "elementary...

    DRAYTON ZA6 MOTORISED VALVE DOES NOT STOP FLOW

    The installation is in the airing cupboard. The pipe containing each valve is vertical. The flow is from top to bottom. The pump is on the riser from the boiler. Above it, horizontal, is the Aerjec and the F&E pipe connection. Then the pipe turns down and splits into two branches, each...

    DRAYTON ZA6 MOTORISED VALVE DOES NOT STOP FLOW

    This 28 mm 2-port valve is just over a year old and therefore has a detachable actuator. It is one of two Drayton 2-port motorised valves for this Drayton "Lifestyle Plan" of central heating layout. The dhw valve is a similar Drayton one, but a 22 mm. For some time we have found radiators...

    CANNON FOLDAWAY GRILL ON A133 SD/U COOKER: BURNER TUBE

    NEED TO REPLACE GAS BURNER TUBE FOR FOLDAWAY GRILL Thanks for the suggestion. I had already tried this supplier. They don't even list my model - it's too old. Where I thought I might get a new burner tube was from Hartill's of Wolverhampton (who, some time ago, had been able to supply new...

    CANNON FOLDAWAY GRILL ON A133 SD/U COOKER: BURNER TUBE

    Hi We have owned this cooker from new (1969). It still works brilliantly, but the fixing lug at the left end of the grill burner tube has bent and is cracking. Apart from the risk of the lug breaking right off during use, this angles the flames down too much. Can I get, either new or sound...
