Dumb noob alert - I need to remove and re-fit my bath overflow and pop-up control as it's become loose in the hole. Unfortunately try as I might I cannot get the big chrome control knob off. It doesn't have a grub screw so I assume it's just a push fit - but it will not budge. I'm wary of...

Washer is dead on switching on. Have changed fuse to no effect. I guess there are any number of things it could be, but are there any straightforward things to have a look at? I have no appliance repair experience but don't mind taking stuff apart and I have a multimeter. Any help appreciated!

We're about to re-do our bathroom and in this world of push-fittings and flexible connector hoses I'm planning to do it myself. My plumbing experience consists of fitting two radiators in the lounge where previously there were none, and fitting TRVs to all the rads in the house. So not extensive...
