Connect the black overflow pipe on the right to the connection on the left, loosen the sink waste screw and white nut to swivel round the black part. You may need to dip the end of the black hose into hot water to soften it to fit the spigot, use silicon sealant to seal connection. Then...

Hello - Looking for following advice -- I have purchased a pull out tap for kitchen sink. The tap has 3 hoses. 1 that i can connect to cold and 1 to the hot. The third hose relates to the pull out part of the tap. There is no loop back into the tap for the third hose and it would appear that...

If I read this right you are finding water in the drum at the end of the wash (there will always be water in the sump and filter) First thing then is to check the waste hose is not syphoning. If it goes into a stand pipe ensure it is not all the way down the pipe it only needs to be about...

you must also loop the hose upward, so the top of the loop is higher than the water level in the sink, and preferably as high as the worktop.

Thanks for prompt response Rocks1. The drain pump was a bit sludged up and was cleared and does work when I put a 240 volt circuit onto it. The circulation pump does not run however, when I've put power to it to try it, using the blue and red wire at the capacitor there is also a black wire to...

As I've already said in the electrical forum, this could be a far more serious fault than a simple lack of bonding. When the pipework entering the house was metal, it would have had the ability to introduce an external electrical potential into the house, hence being an extraneous conductive...

The adaptor was fitted to the pipe because it was originally attached to that spigot. When the kitchen fitter fitted like that the suds were a lot worse because the spigot is so close to the top of the sink. As I understand it, the adaptor is also meant to stop the suds traveling upwards though...

if that grey pipe is from the washer, it is positioned wrong. Loop it upwards so that the top of the loop is at draining board level. otherwise sink water incl tea leaves, bacon fat, rice pudding etc will flow down into the washing machine. tighten up whichever of those plastic nuts is...

New washing machine delivered today and I have connected the hot and cold hoses to the appropriate pipes via the washing machine valves. I'm doing the waste now and have 2 choices - to use a p trap from my sink with a spigot - and push the waste hose on to this and tighten with a jubilee clip...

Tony, Yes, that was my initial thought. If so do you think there is any danger in taking it out as long as I loop the hose as high up as possible in the kitchen unit before connecting it into the sink waste outlet? (If you can imagine what I mean)

good point, of course otherwise water will level out and enter the machine (s)!!!! i guess you should use the hook with the otulet hose and clip it just above sink level before looping it down and onto the spigot end. :) on normal washing machine outlet hoses with standpipes - they also...

Ok, perhaps I wasn't clear. To run the waste pipe from the dishwasher at height would cause me problems as it would need to go behind an oven. I was wondering if I could run an extended waste pipe from the dishwasher, along the ground underneath the kitchen units then up to the drainage pipes...

[/url] The grey one loops up out of picture to the left. I thought they only need to loop up above the pipe to the drain so the water takes the path of least resistance? Cheers

well for a start the grey one is wrongly positioned so that dirty water from the sink will flow down into the appliance. You need to loop up the flexible hoses so that they are up to the underside of the draining board and above the water level of the sink. But you could change to a...

I think it is already high enough, that's why I changed my mind. the person who drilled the hole in the cabinet knew the right way to do it :) You could pull that downward loop away, that will prevent the waste hose holding dirty sink water.

Thanks for the quick reply. Before you edit/changed your mind you mentioned fastening the drain hose in a loop higher than the sink water level. I'm pretty sure this is already the case as the drain hose needs to go right up to the level of the draining board to go back down the next unit...

looks like the problem occurs because water gushes down the drain hose when you pull out the sink plug. this is very common and easily fixed. To fix this, just fasten the drain hose so it rises in a loop, the top of which is higher than the water level in the sink. You can probably fasten a...

if the d/wrs sold in the US market are similar to my Bosch, you can get to the pump by tipping the machine over - all the mechanisms are underneath. On mine the pump is visible when you do this, and you can see the hoses attached with metal clips. the pump is a replacable part - it has a...

Switch the dryer so the dishwasher and wm are next in line to the sink. Run all the hoses and drain pipework up through a hole in the base of the sink unit. Use a sink trap with 2 waste hose connections. Tee off the hot/cold pipework under the sink so the 3/4 valves face downwards to connect...

you seem to be doing all the right things... Is there any chance dirty water from the sink is getting into the washer via the drain hose? this can happen if it is connected to the sink waste and does not loop high enough. Are you washing any very greasy things, like mechanics overalls...
