Funny thing is, the original part in my washer/dryer has a sticker with "Made in PRC". I wonder if that is the peoples republic of China?

Thank-you all for the replies. Fred, the coarse filter is in tact and not broken, please see picture. Wayners, there are no flashing lights of error codes. I did a wash yesterday and it worked as it should. I then turned the blue water isolator tap off. John, I had to go out this morning and...

Thank-you for the replies. The washer/dryer waste pipe is not connected to the kitchen sink. It is in a small utility room.

Hello all, I last used the Indesit washer/dryer 3 days ago. This afternoon I was going to fill the drum with laundry but it was full of water. I used a sponge and bucket to empty it and thought I would have a look at the pump pre-chamber to see if anything was stuck in there. It was clean and...

Thank-you.

Thanks, great idea. I did not know they existed. Watched a couple if videos in the type to get. You would think plumbers bungs would not be hard to find on either ebay, screwfix, b&q or toolstation but none of them have the continuous type.

Thank-you. So draining down the hot water is the way to go. I had a look in the loft and there is a pipe coming from the bottom of the water tank in the loft to the bottom of the cylinder, see picture. The red valve is completely stuck so would I need to prop up the ball valve in the tank to...

I have a dripping Kitchen tap, I was able to shut off the mains water to replace the cold tap but there is no isolating valve to the hot tap. I live in a concrete floored bungalow and the pipe goes under the floor in the kitchen but I cannot see where it goes to, I would have thought to the...

Since my original post 2 weeks I have been turning on the boost for 30 minutes each morning and this is enough water for me. Today I thought I would do some research and learn about the water heater. I found this video which is quite in depth. My temperature dial does not have numbers like the...

This is a 1988 bungalow.

I have 1 meter, to take my meter reading during the day, the day rate shows, I press the button twice on the meter to see the night time reading.

I am one of those that thought running the washing machine in the early hours would be cheaper, I set it earlier so that the cycle finishes at 8am (I know my changeover time is 8:15 am as I have watched the meter outside.)

I see, thank-you for all of your help. For now I will just use the boost as and when I need it.

This is a 1988 bungalow if that helps. I had a look at both consumer units. Small one = Lounge heater Hall heater Kitchen heater Main switch. Large one, Garage Sockets Bathroom/Utility heater. RCD Cooker Immersion heater Bedroom heater Lights Main switch

I see, what a shame, I was hoping I could use boost on the lower rate if used before 8:15 am. There are 2 consumer units next to each other, the smaller one on the left is for the lounge, hall and kitchen storage heaters only.

Thank-you for the explanation. I live alone and take showers, never a bath so I may be able to manage with the boost element. My off peak time is 12:15am to 8:15am. If I were to turn the boost on at 7am for 1 hour would it be charged at the off peak rate?

Thank-you. I had always assumed when using timed it used both elements so I have learnt that only the bottom is used in that instance. The top element is only used when on Boost, and that is working.

Like I wrote, "The Immersion/boost still works and I hear the hissing sound." I tried it and was surprised how well it works, less than an hour from stone cold and enough for long shower and washing up. Are you saying the Boost uses the top one?

I see, not something I am comfortable with. I have 2 questions if you don't mind. 1) On the picture of the cylinder, you can see there are 2 black objects, are they both called Immersion heating elements? 2) When I use the Boost, does it use one of those 2 immersion heating elements?

I have lived in this home for 5 years and have economy 7. I use the timer and set the water heater to come on at 3am and to go off and 8am. I think the 5 hours is pre set. The power light on the socket is still illuminated, the timer light still illuminates from 3am to 8am but the water is not...
