I found the replacement reasonably easy. The installation instructions which came with the shower unit when I first bought it showed the procedure to replace this piece of equipment and provided that you follow it, all should be OK. If you don't have these instructions you can usually download...

When turning the temperature knob anticlockwise until it reaches the stop, before pressing the red override button, the mixed water temperature appears too cold. This has only recently occurred as before when set at 7 say the temperature was fine. I have cleaned the internal filters and the...

That seemed to clear the shower head fine. I had hoped that doing that would improve the water flow and temperature of water. I have also cleaned the internal filters, and increased the hot tank supply temperature but the mixer temperature is still only warm. Could the problem be the...

How do you unscrew the spray plate assembly? The book says turn in an anticlockwise direction, I presume when looking face on to the shower head, but it just wont budge. Any ideas please.

Many thanks for that response. I did take the back off to see what was wrong. Water had clearly leaked through the rear bearing as it was well rusty and tell tail brown staining from spillage was evident within the casing. It looked a major job to take apart the drum and to rebuild and...

Very positive answer, thanks. Could you please say why, if only to confirm my view following my conversation with a local repair firm. Regards

Machine has become very noisy, and drum now is difficult just to manually turn. It has also left numerous black marks on latest wash which appear to have come through the holes in the drum. The odd mark has been noticed in earlier washes over the last month or so. I presume the bearings have or...

Just a follow up to my earlier post. The brushes arrived but were not quite the ones needed. They had internal springs but the existing had external springs which pushed the brushes against the armiture. They also looked to be reasonably OK, although the armiture did look worn. I cleaned the...

Will check it out when I fit new brushes. Thanks.

Yes it has been more noisey than I expected from new. You mention the spring, and strangely the one easily accessed did not appear to be fully seating properly against the brush. If that's the case it's been like it from the start. That brush however does look quite low and that's really why...

Always been rather noisey but not too serious. Just recently though noise varies and so does the water flow. Have looked inside and is dusty from carbon brush wear. Have ordered new brushes. Will fit when received and clean filters and hope it sorts out the problem. Other than that presumably a...

I only have the hot water zone valve in operation at the moment, the heating circuit being fully off. I will however check them both out. Many thanks for your help.

Yes. However the boiler fires up long after the programmer has shut down, and can do it on and off many times before I end up turning the boiler off. It doesn't however do it every time. The fault is very intermitent. I'm not sure what an endswitch is. Where is that located?

If the programmer is doing that the light would be on and the on/off timing periods would show in the display. According to the time display and the absense of the on light, the programmer shouldn't be working, but the boiler fires and the zone valve (Spring return) appears closed, so presumably...

I installed it, and rewired it again about two/three years ago. This fault has happened before but it has not been a continuous issue. I have only noticed it twice, that is two periods of time, in the 20 years it has been installed. Over the years the programmer, zone valve tops, and room and...

Even though the programmer auto time setting for hot water is off, the boiler fires up. (The Heating is permanently off currently.) Why should this happen? Is there a problem with the hot water zone valve? Is the tank thermostat faulty? The water does seem to get hotter than the 50C setting. The...
