Yes, a new cartridge is the best solution and should correct the leak you describe. It is sometimes possble to solve by just replacing the o'rings. It is much cheaper to do this but does involve some messing around and it does not always work. Good luck with new one - it should be fine. Read...

Thanks again for you help. I agree that this is a pragmatic DIY repair rather than a commercial repair. With regard to getting the LH thread nut off, the potential problem is that the spindle turns inside the fan blade before the nut actually loosens. The fan blade is not very well keyed to the...

Thank you very much - the 15 suffix item is the correct one. I did find out that the only difference between the 2 items is the length of the spindle. The 15 version spindle is 5mm longer than the 10 version and this difference is critical for ovens that need to longer shaft. However, if you...

The fan in our Neff oven U1661W2GB/01 is stalling and often does not start. Looking around for replacements there are two fans for U1661 type ovens. The Embpapst numbers are:- R2A 150-AA33-10 and R2A 150-AA33-15. Mine is listed as needing the latter. However, the price difference between the 2...

I have had three Aqualisa showers in our house for many years and have found that there is a lack of information/advice on servicing the cartridge part number 022801 and the other similar cartridges. However, having tackled several cartridges my experience is documented below. There are three...

I am really sorry I did not reply to you question. Unfortunately I have only just updated my email on this site and the old one was just going into the ether. Most, if not all, these machine have a flood protection system which is triggered when water drips into the under tray. This dries...

Just to complete this post it did leak again so I can now tell the full story. As well as the union seal there are also two seals in the pump housing. 1) An O ring Part No 6090860. Dimensions are 105x3.55mm. This can be purchased as an individual item from Miele or Ebay - cost about £2.00...

Having now done the research the union seal between the main circulation pump and the collection pot can be replaced as follows (see image of diagram in my album Miele G646SC Water Leak):- 1. Remove all water from the Sump. 2. Remove the Fixing Bolt (Item 5), from the Casing Rear Panel (Item...

My Miele G646SC has developed a water leak between the main circulation pump and the main filter housing. It just drips into the water collection tray and trips the flood protection switch. This stops the machine from running and then continually run the drain pump until the water evaporates...

Just to clarify I am getting the local worktop people to cut the worktop and joints and I am then planning to install it. The question is mainly related to how much slack I need and hence the measurements I need to give the worktop people, hopefully having properly researched that I will be...

I am replacing a laminate worktop on existing cabinet units. There are three sections - 3 sides of a rectangle bounded at each end by walls. Centre wall is 4.6 metres long. Worktop is to be fabricated offsite by local worktop factory. No problem with first join but second has to be made in situ...

I have two under pelmet mains 9W florescent strip lights installed in my kitchen. They have been there for many years. They are wired via a fused lighting circuit spur which can be turned off via one of the kitchen light switches. The florescent lights also incorporate an on off switch. The...

Thanks again for the help. The drilling out method worked fine. 3mm to establish and centre the hole. Follow with 10mm on a very low torque and light touch. When it snatches towards the end finish turning by hand and cleanup with a Stanley knife. Once the lugs are detached the boss is easy to...

Thanks very much for the replies. I will be giving it a go later this week and will post an update as to how I get on. Hopefully it will also help someone else in the future.

Thanks very much for the suggestion. Unfortunately, they are not this type. Have posted an image. Any further help much appreciated. Thanks.

I am in the process of replacing the door hinges on my (over 10 years old) Magnet kitchen cupboards. The hinges are mounted in two ways:- 1) simple with small chipboard screws securing the 35mm boss 2) nasty - pressed in with no screws to remove. Before I do something bad - can anyone...

We do not have the answer phone option configured. I guess this could be a good idea given the problem we think we have.

We have had several reports of people calling us, getting a ringing tone, but our phones do not ring. This seems unlikely to me but my wife is convinced it is happening. We have three phones connected to various extension points in the house but none appear to ring. Talktalk have checked the...

I am redesigning the utility and looking for any bright ideas on how to make more easy the movement of a very heavy (Miele) washing machine in and out of a fitted space just wide enough to accommodate the machine. Someone must have come across some good ideas or bits of kit to help with this...

I am looking for an inset stainless utility sink of good quality with 2 tap holes for separate pillar taps with a bowl size of approx 430 x 370 and 160 deep and a RH drainer . Have looked in as many places as I can think of but not yet found a good match. Any ideas gratefully received -...
