    Bosch washer - door stuck closed

    Sounds like the door lock has activated. Get the machine to unlock it for you i.e. select the shortest program which is Drain and runs for just 1 minute and listen for the door to unlock (the load click) when the program is finished. Let me know if this does the trick.

    Whats the quietest washing maschine??

    I have a Bosch Logixx 8 VarioPerfect, the only one I know that has the new brushless motor, very quiet and an extended warranty on the motor. Loudest thing on it is the pump which is no noisier than my last machine. As the name implies, has a lot of programs and most things, temp, spin speed...

    water pump off the cold water tank?

    No. The hot water is kept at the same pressure as the cold by being fed from the same cold water storage tank. If you then pump cold water to a mixer tap it will blow some of the cold water (higher pressure than the hot water) back into your hot water system.

    Right Angled Bath Shower Screens

    I don't know but I think this may work for you as it folds flat, vertically, against the wall when not in use. http://www.bathroommarquee.co.uk/out1.php

    New Bosch washer makes very loud click at start and end

    Thanks again. I doubt that replacing this with a like for like same model is going to be any different then, do you ? Its standing in the open for test at the moment so although obviously the locking mechanism is at the front of the machine, it may get muffled a little when it goes into its...

    New Bosch washer makes very loud click at start and end

    Thanks zipper, really appreciate your help. Firstly, it was an LG sent back earlier because of same 'problem'. Again their help desk never twigged or thought of door lock. So not sure if worth taking a swap on this Bosch and hoping it will be quieter as I guess they will all sound the same...

    New Bosch washer makes very loud click at start and end

    Thanks again zipper. Just been back to listen and feel the crack (excuse pun) and you maybe right. Now you have pointed me to it, it does 'feel' and sound as though its around the door catch mechanism but I'm amazed how loud it is. Also surprised that the 2 people I spoke to at Bosch never even...

    New Bosch washer makes very loud click at start and end

    Thanks zipper. I would have thought that would sound like it was comming from the door latch area though. This sounds like its comming from about the centre, above the drum but obviously below the machine top surface. I was inquiring here as Bosch support said it didn't sound normal to them and...

It is quiet running but after selecting any program, once the start button is pressed there is a very load click / crack from within the machine, it also does this again once the program has finished. Sounds like...

    grout blockage in shower waste trap

    Not sure what this means, but is the chrome centre flush with the shower tray floor and the water runs under it ? If that is the case then the chrome centre pulls up and out, get your fingers under the chrome all around it and pull. You may get lucky and find that your blockage is in there. I...

    Hot water Circuit Noisy

    If you have had engineers out then I guess what I'm about to say will already have been covered. Has this just started happening ? If so, had anything changed when it did ? What is the rate of overpumping (water out of expansion pipe), dripping, dribbling, running ? What level of water have...

    soldering

    Also, the key is not to rely purely on the solder to hold the wires in place. After inserting the wires through the holes, the ends should be bent through 90 degrees to form some 'mechanical' connection and then soldered which is primarilly the elctrical connection but also assists the...

    upvc external french doors from wickes

    If you were to pack out the space, what is the thermal quality of your packing material ? If its not at least that of the doors, it would be a waste of time, and your money. You decide.
