Gentlemen Thank you for your extensive knowledge and being generous enough to take the time to provide some very useful information, it is much appreciated. Thanks again and best wishes to you. T

Thank you Terry for taking the time to reply. The boiler is OK, locating and accessing the manifold is a different matter, hence the cheeky thought of piggybacking off of a rad supply. Assuming temperature,pressue and flow rates through the 10mm is constant, is there a specification of BTU's...

Hi all, Apologies for parading my ignorance and if this is already covered elsewhere in the forum. I would like to run a pipe from my hall radiator through to the newly converted garage to living space. The existing rad is fed by 10mm pipework. Can anyone tell me how many BTU's or radiators a...

Some research has found this and many other water softeners use the Fleck 5600SXT control valve water purifying system. These appear to be used extensively in the USA, all the service information is available online and Youtube has some useful set-up and maintenance information.

Hi all, I have a five year old water softener as above which has stopped working properly. The counter that shows the litres of water the machine can pass through before regenerating is increasing rather than decreasing to zero as it should, then regenerating. The service due icon is also...

Hi guys, Our fridge/freezer requires a new water control valve. Bosch have sent me a triple valve part no 00751025. On fitting the replacement I discover this is the wrong part. They should have sent me a double valve part no 00497830. The parts have a lot of similarities and it occurred to me...

Hi there, I suspect the above bypass valve is stuck in the open position and allowing water to pass through all the time. When adjusting the unit there does not appear to be any spring resistance. I have considered buying a new valve and swapping the working part from the new valve to the old...

Our 2012 Miele washer dryer has been plagued by a white powder residue building up on the surface of the dryer ducting, heater and fan housing. Miele have visited the machine three times this year and replaced all the parts. The washing contamination problem is now coming back again. With usual...

Question for washer dryer experts please Our now infamous 30 month old WT2789iss has developed yet another fault and as usual trying to contact Miele is a joke. We have had two service visits in three months for dryer faults and now when the drying cycle is used the lCD display goes...

Replacement of ll the dryer ducting and the fan assembly has sorted the problem. The question is what was all the white coating inside all the dryer ducting and why did the fan seize up. We have ruled out limescale but are puzzled how a 2 year old Miele, could suffer from what looks like surface...

Finally got to the bottom of the problem today. The dryer ducting that houses the dryer heater element was found to be coated in what looks like white flakey corrosion. Given that the dryer fan had seized recently and now all this white powder, our confidence in this product is very low and are...

Hi Yardie, we have been trying to get Miele to attend to this joke of an appliance. They have cancelled twice and are due here in two weeks. I don't hold my breath and my wife is worried I will put it in the skip and get a bosch. I know it will still go wrong but it won't have cost me such a...

Hi Yardie, unfortunately I do not have photos or saw him use any products on assembly. If this were the case I think after a number of wash/dry cycles we would have been able to get beyond the issue. I also still cannot believe Miele would design an appliance to run with a seized fan and not...

The saga of the dryer fan seizure on our 28 month old Miele continues. Miele changed the fan and duct pipe from the bottom of the drum to the fan assy. Every time we use the dryer we are getting residue and foreign matter out of what appears to be the dryer return ducting. We have eliminated...

We have a two year old Miele WT2789 on which the dryer stopped working and lots of white residue in machine after a wash. Struggled to contact Miele UK, they won't answer the telephone and their website is a joke. Engineer came today and found the dryer fan had seized. The discussion inferred...

Hi all, Am I correct in assuming these devices are a scam from outside UK to get people to part with money for an unsafe device that is as effective as a chocolate fire guard. Or, do they actually work ? No, I am not drunk, just curios for a view from the many experts out there. Thank you.

If mine are anything to go buy, you will need to remove the glass to be able to flex the frame passed the locking pin. You will know if the top or bottom is the cause. Our window did not have enough room to get anything in to retract the lock. If you are not a practical person, the Window Doctor...

Hi experts Can you tell me please if I can install a shower pump directly into the hot water supply pipe that is in the airing cupboard and connected to the loft vent pipe or must I fit a Surrey flange or similar. I am only looking at 1.5 bar guest bathroom use. Also, can you tell me what...

Hi experts, We need to improve the pressure at one of our shower heads and a pump looks like the answer. The cold supply runs overhead from loft tank and the hot from the airing cupboard, this makes one pump solution not easy. I am not sure about having two small pumps. Any ideas please on...

Our 10 year old UPVC windows are fitted with Aubi 05058 locking mechanisms. We have just had an incident where the mechanism (centre spindle gearbox) has sheared inside upon closing a window. This leaves the window locked at the offending catch. We have fitted a new gearbox and on stripping the...
