Hi - I know this is an old post - I have a ZWD 1472S and this works just the same. I used this site yrs ago for central heating problems and got top notch advice. Changed my P.C and lost the link for a while but found it again recently posting for condenser blockage problems. Another site...

well it certainly wasn't attached to the original light. I did look up inside and the red wire was there, I don't know what it was attached to but it wasn't loose...what I mean by that is that it was a continuous loop...there was no visible end. :? :shock: :?

I was in my friends house to help her change single ceiling lights to a multi light. When I took the old rose down...There were 2 black wires twisted together in N and an Earth. No red wire...... I attached the earth.... I attempted to put the 2 twisted wires into the N...Nothing. I then...

I have a Hotpoint Aquarius Extra washer/ dryer. (WD64) It has been working fine until today...I put the dryer on manually after a wash, it dryed for half the cycle then stopped. When I looked at the machine, it had suspended on the cycle but there appeared to be no power. I switched it off...

Hi...Had another look around the forum. Some guy had the same problem and when he took off the filter it was blocked with a button and a load of fluff..... So despite everything looking alright...I took off the filter and found a wee 5 pence clogged in fluff..... After removing all the...

Hi...any suggestions would be appreciated. The W/D is approx 18mths old. It washes fine but the drying cycle doesn't dry. The water flows into the condenser fine..but the intermitted run to clear the cold water doesn't kick in and the washing gets wet again. I've had the back off to have a...

it was a gold 50...now been replaced with a gold 60....the water ran into the y plan valve and that stopped working too...so had to have that replaced..it was about 3 - 4 yrs old...relatively new i'm told...especially when we were previously in a house with the same pump for over 10yrs! I knew...

I think the insurance company :twisted: are looking for a reason for failure as they said they wouldn't pay out unless it was "accidental damage" as the pump failing couldn't justify them paying out!...robbing gits!

oh..forgot to mention....I put inhibitor in regularly and had recently drained down the system (January) to remove sludge build-up. Haven't done anything different this time from any other time :?

I dunno what happened but heating went on at 6 and we were wakened by dripping noises...when we investigated downstairs, water was running down the wall. When we checked the pump..water was flowing out of it...from where the 1,2,3 switch is...made a right mess!

thought i'd add....dogs urine burns just the same.......my sis-in-laws boxer makes one hell of a mess of the lawn. I've forwarded this thread onto her and i'm sure she'll be really grateful for all your info. :wink:

Natural yogurt on the slabs also works.... :lol:

Hi, Any reasons why the central heating pump would fail? Other than age...It a newish system. Your pump goes and makes a mess of your house...you claim your insurance but they fail to pay out without knowing WHY the pump failed!!!! I'm telling you...these folk try to get out of paying EVERY...

:lol: :lol: :lol: cheers...give yourself a pat on the back :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi....Sorry guys......One last question. When buying a new pump...what is the best type to get...Its a Gold one thats in at the moment..but I don't understand this 5m or 6m stuff... Also whats the better...Grundfoss or Gold??? :wink:

Thanks ChrisR for the info.....Will get to it after work. Can't stand the cold at the best of times...Although I still often wonder why i'm still living in the West Coast of Scotland and not somewhere hot and sunny ???? I guess W/C Scotland is better than the South Pole Eh! :lol:

Hi ChrisR, I think thats what I just done earlier this evening. With hot rads closed off...cold rads started to heat up but when I started to open the upstairs rads...the biggest one downstairs has gone cold...although now thats the only one thats cold...the smaller of the 2 is , I'd say...

...i've an update! I opened all the valves..balanced the system as best I could but still the 2 lower rads were cold. I switched off all rads upstairs then opened the air valves on lower rads and filled about 2 buckets of water from each one. The smaller of the 2 started to heat up..so I...

Hi, nope..as far as I can see..all rads are on the same system.Its only a wee house and pipes are quite easy to follow. Header tank that feeds system has water in it. Anyway...I tried there to balance the system...opened all the valves on both ends of both radiators and tried to reset them...

Hi, Bare with me as this is a long story. In January, house had hot water, no central heating...all radiators were cold. Everything seemed to be working..had pilot light, pump was doing what it should...just cold radiators...reading your suggestions, I thought there was sludge in the system...
