I am replacing a Whirlpool ADG332IX semi integrated dishwasher. Can somebody tell me how the wooden front panel is fixed, and how I can remove it. I need the panel for a new machine. Maybe most Whirlpool dishwashers use the same method of fixing these panels.

RE: POLYSTYRENE. Avoid in a ceiling at all costs. Fire rating zilch. Many past accidents with polystyrene tiles.

Hi Jimmy, Before buying a new valve, just undo the 2 actuator screws and remove them. If the acuator rotates a little and the screeching stops, then the problem is with the valve. Do as I say above and rotate the valve shaft with a spanner, right through it's total movement. It may free up...

I have worked on many vast commercial buildings with a roof slope less than 10 degrees. (Cannot remember exactly). Many of these used profiled aluminium sheets which came in lengths over 6m. Not very handsome, but keep the rain out. Just take a look at some recent warehouse units on an...

Quite, but Jimmy is obviously attempting to run heating, and this I think is where the squealing occurs. If the test I suggested above is inconclusive, then when the sqealing is happening Jimmy could take the actuator off the valve. As you know there are only 2 small screws. If the squealing...

Sorry to confuse. Reading my comment again I could have been more clear. These 3 position diverter motorised valves have 3 positions which are electrically controlled by the actuator.(motor). Position 1 is Hot water only (Which I called Full on Hot Water) where the internal paddle is say fully...

Hi there, I'm not so sure it is not the motorised valve. There are a few variations on how these are wired up, but the valve is NOT an on/off valve. It either routes the flow to the left, or to the right, or both if the paddle is in the central position. There is a simple test you can do...

Hi Gary, Firstly, ignore the diatribe above. It contributes nothing to your query. If you haven't already fixed your shower, I suggest you visit a David Wilson show home. I know there is at least one near Ashby. Have a look at the shower installation. Also, go to...

I don't think there is any need to disturb the existing floor at all. It is quite common to step up 200 to 250mm into the shower. There are shower trays available with adjustable legs, which have sufficient room underneath the actual tray to install a "bath trap" which is shallow, and is made...

Am I right in thinking these gutters were not lined when new. The joints were just cemented together with a strong mix. The fact there is some form of lining in your gutter seems to indicate past problems. Whatever you do, be very very careful of a hot treatment. Even with a scaffold it is...

Now gone, dead and buried. Beeches

Have you had a look inside the door. There may be a wiring diagram there.

I am an old duffer and I can remember Finlock gutters when they were quite popular. Sorry, but they always had problems with leaking joints and unfortunately leaks show up as stains internally. But don't dispair, things have moved on and there are numerous sealing products out there, from the...

He has been out and bought a new one, the mad fool. If you fancy your chances or just need parts, I'm sure it is free if you collect. Location, near Coleshill, West Midlands. Reply to this forum.

There is a very easy way to concentrate the governments mind on overtaxing the car owner. It is quite legal. ALL AGREE TO STAY AT HOME FOR ONE DAY. THE SAME DAY, OBVIOUSLY. No power, no TV, no radio, no transport, no anything, I guess, because somewhere in every organisation in a...

The term "keyless entry" used by the motoring magazines, has in certain instances referred to an electronic transmitter/receiver device the size of a credit card that you carry in your pocket. When you get close to the car it reads the card in your pocket, automatically unlocks, and you can...

Wow, this is all getting a bit heavy, so I am baling out. One final comment, you described UC in a beam stuation. Doesn't UC stand for Universal Column, which obviously has to be very stiff. Cheers, Beeches.

My comment that timber I beams are for light loads ( I consider domestic floor loading a light load), over long spans is a general observation based on the problem that solid timber joists over long spans suffer from excessive deflection under their own weight. The same goes for steel beams...

From someone who used to survey houses for company moves, I can tell you it is an absolute nightmare. You just cannot inspect drains below ground, foundations, hidden services within floors, etc, etc. To do this, you would have to literally dismantle the structure and excavate drains and...

The timber I beams you are considering are essentislly designed for light loads over large spans. Your span of 2.3m is not enough to even consider using them. Normal softwood properly sized and spaced will be fine. Get it tanalised. Beeches.
