Hi, The pressure switch is a small (about 3inch diameter) plastic white circular bit, if you take the right hand (as you look at washer) side panel off, the switch is attached to the inside edge of the bottom side crossbeam, halfway between front and rear, you can remove it by uncliping it from...

Sorry to update my steps like this but it may help someone reading this in future! Anyway, using two capacitor in either configuration did not help. Leaving the capacitor off all together and the circuit open has exactly the same effect, except once it actually start turning by its self...

Update update.... stripped the pump assembly away so no load on motor at all, still needed a push start, used light oil on bearings etc, now quiet and will spin for upto 10 seconds after power off but still needs a push to start!!! I have changed the capacitor already but could the new one be...

New update! Motor was heating, huming and smelling as if it was jammed, but when off i could turn the pump blades ok. I have isolated the pump and connected directly to the power, it still would not turn, i gave the blades a helping push and away it went! If i turn off but on again before...

- update! fitted a new capacitor and... no luck! motor body still getting hot but does not seem to be turning so arms not spinning, element is heating but no spray water to warm up! Anybody any ideas at all :idea: ? If its definitely the motor I will need to weigh up whether its worth it...

Hi all, I have an Indesit D63 dishwasher. Its been a couple of years since it last gave me problems, last time I spent days getting bits of info from all over the place but eventually figured it out and posted the story incase it would help anybody else (and i found a few in same boat...

No water or overfilling? After spending the last two days studying the web and gleaning together a bit of info from here there and everywhere I finally sorted my dishwasher....I hope! So I just wanted to bring together my findings in the hope it will save someone else some grief! There are...

Sorry! I meant 30amp ringmain. Is the rest sounding ok then?? Any reason why you would favour adding to the ringmain rather than the cooker circuit?? Possibly to keep some kind of continuity in the system, i.e cooker circuit for the cooker etc??

I have looked through the site and need a bit of guidence/clarification please. I wish to add down lighters to the base of kitchen units. Nearby I have installed a new Cooker Switch with built in socket and extended the (separate!!) ringmain to incorporate 2 more double sockets (from...

You can get away with cutting metallic, if you do cut too deep (dulled too much and colour on your cloth) you can recover with a clear lacquer or special finish lacquer, it is ok to have thinner paint with a thicker topcoat to bring even, you will never notice.

bet his invoices look the same! :)

The product needed depends on the severity of the scratch. Very light scratchs & swirls - A good polish (Autoglym Super Resin or Mer etc) - they don't contain silicon like cheaper stuff can. Or Car Plan Colour Magic that polishes but contains a colour pigment that may help to mask a scratch...

Thanks guys, I will try and trace the cable back up above the ceiling, if I find a decent void space above I will move the two Junction boxes into it and run new lengths of cable to my first new socket, failing that I will keep tracing it back to the next socket or the CU. Thanks for all your...

So is tracing the cable and laying new ones the only way to do this, is there no way or connecting cable together and having the wall fush???

So do I crimp them and bury them?

Thanks 4 your input guys, what I am doing is; I have a double socket that sits halfway up the wall in my dining room - (cables come from above) from that is an old spur taken horizontally at chest height onto ajoining wall. I have removed the double socket on the main, disconnectd the spur...

Thanks, I have been searching but now I am more confused as I found this : http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3008 which you have posted elsewhere and seems to contradict what you are saying to me although the guy seems to be asking basically the same - i think!!!! :?:

Crimps!! I have never had experience of crimping on mains cabling, although I do in autoelectrics, and then crimping is regarded as a poor relation to solder and heat shrinking, are you seriously saying that crimping is accepted practice in home electrics??? If this is so, am I to...

I have removed a double socket on a ring main and used the two sets of cables (incoming 2.5mm & outgoing 2.5mm) to open into a ring extension, i.e one cable heads off one way with new sockets and returns back to this point. What is the accepted way of joining the cables??? At the moment I have...
