I've just unpacked my new side by side Samsung fridge freezer (US style) and put it in situ in the kitchen. I am aware that you are supposed to leave a fridge freezer to stand a while before switching on for the first time or after moving it etc. I was under the impression that they should be...

Thanks, I'll try them.

Really? The stuff that was under my old worktop was purpose made stuff. Is there a place I can get it or do most people use the tin foil and glue method?

I've just had a new kitchen fitted and am yet to put the dishwasher under the worktop. I need some self adhesive foil for the underside of the worktop above the dishwasher. Where on earth do you buy the stuff? Thanks for any help.

I'm having my kitchen refitted and will need 2 new plug sockets fitted where I'm extending the worktop futher than existing one. How much can I expect to pay for this work approximately? Also I may need to have some under cabinet lighting fitted. The wiring will already be there as I have...

Ah, good point about it protuding. BTW, it's not orange! That'll be the light, it's a red-brown!! Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the prompt reply Steve! I've checked the back in a store and it has a flat panel on the back that runs from top to bottom so no recess at all. The wife's not keen on a socket above :roll: so is there another way?

I'm having a new kitchen installed and have ordered a new side by side fridge freezer. I'll need an electrician to fit a plug socket for the fridge freezer but have no idea where one could go. The problem is that the fridgefreezer is only a couple of centimetres narrower than the wall it will...

Hi Softus, thanks for your help. I really hope I haven't come across as ungrateful. I am eternally grateful for all the help and advice I have received from the kind people on this forum. I feel I have acknowledged the replies I have received or at least replied to them. The reason I let...

ME: Anyone know this?

OK, I've found the Cylinder stat. It is numbered 1-5 and the boiler stat is actually numbered 1-6. What should I set these to to get a temp of around 80 degrees on the cylinder and 60/70 deg on the boiler?

I'm well aware I've been stupid in leaving it so long but the problem has been intermitant and money is really tight for me lately.

LOL Softus. Yes, my stress level is a little elevated! I would love someone to help but am concerned at the cost of a callout this close to christmas. I am in BS20 (North Somerset).

Thanks for the help dangermouse. Now for the newbie questions: Where can I find the cylinder stat (do you mean the hot water cylinder?) There is a stat on the boiler but it is labeled 1-5, not in degrees. Sorry for my stupidity.

Great, it's stopped again and the house is nowhere near up to stat temp. Nothing will get the boiler to fire up again. Any ideas as to what I can try?

Well typical! The boiler's just fired up and the rads are getting hot. That's about 30 minutes after I last fiddled with the stat to make it ask for CH.

I have posted a few times regarding a faulty motorised valve. Please read this post for background info: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=156952 Since that post, I have had a heating engineer out to look at the valve. He thought that the head of the valve needed replacing and...

Thanks for that info Mandate. Any chance of a step by stepo guide on how to do that as I'm a novice? :oops: I can take a photo of the valve unit if it would help identify it?

Yes the HW is fine.
