Useful but doesn’t help with the immediate problem. The side panel is just clipped on but I can’t unclip from the front edge. Pic attached shows there is some plastic block that it clips to and I wonder whether this needs to be slid backwards or forwards or similar. Might just need more force...

Hi, I am trying to replace the hinge on a Siemens Integrated Dishwasher and I've got as far as needing to remove the side panels to get at the hinges. These look like they simply clip on and I have released them at the back of the machine. However, they don't seem to want to come off at the...

Should have stated that I did the service (via Quooker self-service kit). I’ll check components for a blockage. Strangely the problem also started after a power cut but I assume that’s just a coincidence? If is down to a blockage then I don’t understand why it runs at all. Wouldn’t it either not...

Thanks - thought as much but difficult getting repairs right now so was wondering whether there might be a temporary fix. Think it is probably to use component outs while I wait.

Hi, any ideas why a Quooker boiling tap might run briefly and then suddenly stop/shut off? It has started doing this since a service and while it does produce boiling water it doesn’t produce much at all and then just stops. After leaving for a while you can then repeat with the same result.

Is it possible to fix a damaged HDMI pin? See rightmost pin on HDMI Out in picture which clearly looks damaged or possibly pushed in. I know ports can replaced but are there any easier or even temporary solutions?

Not sure. I’ve not really been using it as it doesn’t run well at all - so, it’s been parked the whole time while I’ve been working on it. If it’s parked and running, where would it flood as I’ll check this as well.

Thanks - will try removing the limiter next and retuning.

Still struggling with this. Have replaced spark plug, fuel hose and filter and have a new and old carburettor. Still have a problem getting it to run smoothly (with either carb). It starts ok and surges a little at high revs and surges more and then stalls at low revs. I’ve tried adjusting the...

Yes, I believe the linkages are now correct based on my research. Fuel filter is new as well. Engine does not tick over steadily when throttle is closed though. It either dies or continues to surge at lower revs. With old carb on it overheats and backfires as well! With new carb I have tried...

Hi, finally returning to this and have resolved most issues. However, the engine is surging or not running smoothly at least. I’ve tried adjust carburettor, checked fuel system and spark plug - also removed engine casing to clear out any debris. I have a new carb but the same problem exists with...

Thanks - I've not be able to look at this since last post but will hopefully get to it in the near future. Don't currently have the tools to shape a carriage bolt as required.

I ordered a replacement carburettor for this machine. Having removed the original I could see it was a Walbro LMT 5-4993 so this is the part I ordered. However, the part I have received has a different configuration for the attaching the throttle linkage which doesn't seem right. I have now done...

Ok, will give it a try - thanks.

How would you recommend I try and make this? I can get a suitable bolt but not sure how to bend it into that shape.

Hi, I’ve looked at this and there is no easy way to drill a hole where the bar was attached as there is no way to access this from the other side. There is already a hole an inch or so to one side that I could probably fit a carriage bolt through but any idea how I would then get this into the...

I assume you mean ‘other end’? Will be able to take a look tomorrow so will have a better idea of options then.

Ok, I think this all makes sense now. The carriage bolt would attach the other way (to how I was initially thinking) and then the smooth end would be correctly positioned. I would just need a nut either side of the mounting plate to make this work and could use washers at the other end to reduce...

I can provide the dimensions tomorrow but I basically need a bolt (or similar) that has thread at one end and smooth at the other end. I think I now understand what lostinlight was getting at. Get a carriage bolt and cut the head off then use this with nuts on either side of the mounting plate -...

Hi, sorry for another question on this but carriage bolts seem to be sort of the opposite way round to what I need (possibly). If I drill a hole through the mounting plate then won't I need the thread at that end and the smooth part at the other end? If not, how will it fasten with the nut? I...
