Thanks folks for the responses. I've replaced the TC and the oven now works just fine. :D

Hi, have a 758 that the lower oven will not remain lit. I have checked the TC is in the flame, but as soon as you let go of the oven knob out goes the flame. I will get the TC replaced, but can anyone tell me if the other TC fitted to the top side of the lower oven space also should be...

Thanks a lot - the help is much appreciated I will take the soap box out again and give it another clean. I'm pretty sure it is as clean as new because I spent a lot of time running water through it until every small hole had a flow, but wont hurt to look again. Then I will get a new...

Anyone got an idea if this is mechanical or electronic? Saw a post in 2005/6 about a sense cable moving a pivot arm to direct water jet but doesnt seem to be anything like that on this machine or I cant see it. I have flushed the soap box totally and water flows well through all holes ...

this is the number 85.700.291.5990 does that help?

Hi everyone Have a Whirlpool AWD049 that consitently takes in the conditioner with the wash cycle and not the rinse cycle. Whirlpool have looked at it and said that the problem is too much water pressure but this has been turned down to around 2-3 Bar. Problem remains, and its...

Thanks guys. The blocks will be at 90 degrees running east/west across the drive,and traffic will be north/south, so that means I'm OK. The company laying them have a very good reputation and I've had to wait 4 months for them to fit me in, so I'm sure it will be OK. maybe they just...

Hi Anyone out there that can advise me on block paver pattern? I want to have a 105 x 140 single size block pavers installed on my entire driveway set in a strecher bond, offset joints etc, with a 3 course border in 3 sizes. Is there any issue doing this with strength etc? I'm being...

ericmark Thanks again for the time you took to respond. Ill def look at the link you supplied. I have tested all the sockets previously with a martindale, so I know earth exists within the property, just doesn't show visibly on the light in question. For now, safest option is a proper...

Yep - the CU does have an earth. It appears to have been replaced sometime in the 80's by the look of it. The wiring however in the flat is a mix of T&E and Lead twin. Specifically the kitchen is lead, where the problem is. Its possible of course that an earth cable is in the ceiling and...

Thanks guys. Situation re replacing the wiring is ongoing dispute with landlord. Health and safety involved. Right now though the previous metal strip light was removed due to ceiling replacement, and not replaced "due to wiring" so now there is a very small lamp fitted. This is...

Hi My mum has an old flat and the kitchen light cable is the old lead coated sleeve with two wires. As there is no earth wire, is it practice to use the sleeve as earth, attaching a wire to that, or if not , should a plastic light fitting be used? Its a ground floor flat so replacing the...

I have a Whirlpool ARG917 intergrated f/f. Its working fine in the lower freezer part, however the top fridge part has a problem. The top half of the fridge is iced up, the lower half is ice free, and the back wall is warm to the touch in that area. I,m wondering what the problem could...

Well, after dismantling the valve I discovered there had been a leak from the top union - this had leaked into the microswitch and corroded it. NC/NO/C all open cct. I took the valve apart and checked but the inside seals looked fine, so I have renewed all 5 washers, and will be fitting a...

Thanks guys - Ill check that and see if the valve is jammed open/half open. I assume its a mechanical valve and just needs unblocking but notice theres a diaphragm kit for it - so could that be perforated causing the problem? Would you recommend replacing the whole thing or just...

Hi all, Have a CSI85t thats developed a strange problem. When the heating is OFF and set to SUMMER ie HW only, the boiler fires up fine when a tap is turned on and hot water is drawn, BUT the radiators get hot. This happens whether or not the switch is set to HW only or CH and HW...

Thanks for your response. Ive looked at FSP website but they dont list the exact model which I assume is 250watts. I,ll try and call them. PC is Evesham LG. cheers

Hi I have a PC thats got a blown power supply. Ive had a look and tried to repair it, but its smoked so I need a new one. Model is FSP250-60 GTV (PF) Its made by FSP in Taiwan and used mainly in the home user market. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement or if theres a...

Im going to be replacing my Potterton Lynx this summer after 18 glorious years (apart from the last few weeks and the gas board but thats another story) I'm considering the Alpha CD50 because I like the idea of a water store without the attic tank. I have 1 bath and two showers plus the...

ChrisR, Thanks. I agree with you, I think its a wiring connection. Canu give me any leads on where I can obtain a switch "just in case". thanks
