Hello ChrisR. For some reason, the info on the datasheet is a slightly different layout to the one I have at home...must be a newer model (God knows why they don't give new products new model numbers). Anyway, so how many wires are there on a standard thermostat? I am worried that when I buy a...

Hi MANDATE. I have not got the foggiest idea what the "Earth" wire is connected to. Would anyone be so silly as to connect it to a live wire? It's got to be an earth.....surely????? If you want to come round and check it out be my guest. The whole thing is driving me round the twist to be...

Oh my god........this is starting to sound tricky now! I think I am going to have to get someone in that knows what they are doing...I don't want to cause a fire or anything.

Hi Mandate. Well I am only going by what I saw when I took the cover off of the thermostat...I would insert an image if I knew how to of the offending item. So I have quickly placed the image on a web page here, http://www.thamesvalleymusic.co.uk/thermostat.html Yes it does seem a little...

Hello, I am still having problems with my thermostat. I have found out that it is a 'Towerstat RS', it has three wires going to it (Live, Earth & Neutral) the neon light does not work. So to recap what the problem is: Thermostat does not seem to work, If I turn the dial down...the click...

The ballcock, really? So it is the header tank filling up then? Thanks. I will have to venture up to the scary loft then?

Hello good people. Can anyone tell me why it is that when we use a tap...or washing machine, etc etc, we get this horrible sound eminating from ....I think, the loft. It doesn't happen as soon as the water is running....but soon after and it doesn't do it all the time. I am thinking that we...

No....it's not a clock, definately a slider, with Hi at the top and a Lo at the bottom with an on / off rocker switch and a reset switch which has to be pressed quite frequently when the CH fails to switch on! .....Don't get me started on that one....if you are interested look here from my...

Yeah could have been Rob, it made a kinda 'Shhhhhhhhhhd' noise. Similar to to switching off a tap or something. We do also have a back boiler with some controls on the side of it, one of which is a slider which I am not sure really does....could this also be a thermostat slider?????

Hi. I just tried turning the thermostat down past 10 and the heater didn't seem to switch off when it clicked! I did hear however something in the airing cupboard made a noise?????

Hi Rob884. Well, we have been in the house for 8 months and if I recall, it didn't work then in the tail end of last winter, and nobody has been fiddling with it. If I wait for the heating to come on and turn the dial down so it clicks, should this turn the heating off? Thanks. PS...

Hello. Could someone tell me if this is correct? The little thermostat box in the hall doesn't seem to be working at all, it is it right that when I turn the dial down past 10 (lowest dial setting) it makes the little click? This is telling me that the temperature must be below 10...which it...

Hello kind people. We have a Potterton Housewarmer mainflame that does not like to stay on! The problem is, is that the Central Heating will come on and the red LED on the side of the fire in the sitting room comes on if it doesn't fire up after 30 retries (30 tics). It then has to be MANUALLY...

The smell does not seem to be present now.

Cheeky monkeys! It is a GAS back boiler. I will try again tonight and see if the smell is still present.

Hello. A few months ago my washing machine went faulty...anyway, long story short, I done some research on the net and I saw some info on cleaning your washing machine pipes every so often to get rid of the sludge and rubbish that builds up over time.. Is it recommended to do a really hot...

Hello, well it's that time of year again....when all the heating is switched back on for the winter. I switched the central heating on for the first time in months last night and there was a slight sooty smell. I think the smell seemed to dissapear after a few hours (or I had gotten used to...

Hello everyone. Well the latest news is the washing machine is now fixed. I replaced the door switch and it had no effect I then proceeded to look further into the problem, I took the pcb out, that is when I found that one of the tracks had completely burnt away as if something had lifted it...

Yes I have tested the socket and it is fine. My main questions are: 1) How did the machine work when the earth was connected to the Nueutral? 2) Do you think it could be the door switch...as above, I believe it to be open circuited.

Oh........I will go look again! Did you think I was joking? Thanks.
