Thanks Gcol.

Excellent - thanks very much. Out of interest, whats up with the wiring loom? Bear in mind, I'm not in when the engineer comes, so I'm writing all of this down too. We had an engineer earlier in the year to change the thermofuse, he didn't note anything about the wiring loom - should he?

I took a picture... What is that black thing called (its got a white sticker on the front)? Its this that had water in it when we took the mains harness off. The mains harness is attached to the top and its that which has the coloured wires coming out. The actual flex comes in through...

Anyone? I know its a bit 'bish bosh', but does it matter?

JJ4091 its actually one of these: http://www.4hotpoint.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=1087072&query=Hotpoint%20WD440G&model=WD440G&path=52516 This part fits on top of a black cylindrical gizmo. It was the black cylindrical gizmo that had the water in it, and on one of the tiny sockets that...

PS - thank you for replying.

Righto - just need advice now if that's ok Friend of a friend is a repair man. He's been round, confirmed my above explanation (which is summary is that the machine was tripping the RCD). There was, bizarrely, water in the 'noise cap' - this is what he called it. My take is that its a...

Hi all - wonder if someone can advise... I was in the kitchen earlier, which runs off its own electricty switchboard (I'm not technically minded on these things, bear with me..). The boiler was on, as was the radio and the washing machine. All of a sudden, everything is quiet - it's all...

As I'm just touching up cracks, would it matter that much if I just used bathroom wall grout that I can get in the same colour?

Hi folks - just a quickie A couple of years back I had new floor tiles put down in the bathroom with cream grout. That grout could do with some touching up and there are a few cracks here and there. I'll be buggered if I can find the stuff that I bought though. I can't remember the name...

It was the thermistor!

sorry guys - any ideas re the above?

Right then = tested and...well...not sure. System turned off for about 10mins, heating supply warm (not hot as before). Hot water tap on: Boiler fires up. Heating supply pipe stays warm, but is slowly cooling still. Hot water supply pipe - cold. Where's the heat going? It's not...

I see that big round thing - is this actually part of the DV then? I've just turned off the heating to get the heating supply pipe to cool, then I'll attempt to prove Kev's theory :idea:

Thanks guys: 2 Questions 1) What is a diaphragm problem? Other than a faulty ladies contraception... 2) Kev, are you suggesting it might be the DV? I wondered this, but the little thing inside is moving position when the hot water tap is turned, and changes back when turned off. Would a...

Hi there I've the above combi boiler, had some issues with it December that resulted in the heat exchanger being replaced (HW flitting from hot to cold constantly). All well since then, nice hot water, heating fine, but tonight, the hot water has just gone. It's there when you first turn...

it was the pcb - paid stoves to sort it and got a years cover too. cheers again

I thought something to do with the stat too, due to it just cutting out. Any idea if this is a pricey piece of kit? thanks for the reply btw

Hi there I've a stoves efa600h electric oven and grill, and it's stopped working! It will switch on, and start up even as normal, but then after not very long (not long enough to cook oven chips) it's as if all power to it is lost, the clock goes off, everything! Switching it on and off at...

not at all :D
