Hello, I took the front off our 2006 Miele W3240 to change the mouldy rubber gasket and was surprised to see a broken electrical connector under the drum. The machine is working fine. You can see from the photos that connector is quite corroded and must have been disconnected for some time. Can...

Hello, Should the pump overrun every time demand switches off (or is it a safety feature as-and-when)? My pump is not overrunning at all but the boiler is working ok but only when set to low, max 2 out of 5. Above setting 2 sometimes the overheat switch trips. I suppose if the overrun was...

Hello, Motor has died on my JLTDC01 dryer (very slow & noisy running even without belt attached, won't turn drum at all). I've been trying to choose a replacement machine but I think I'm better off fixing this one as to replace with a similar spec will be at least £400. Pic attached of the...

Hello, This 'orrible old 22mm isolation valve is the CH drain-off (pipe on RHS to outside) and needs opening. Do I just turn the top, flat part or do I need to undo/loosen the nut on the bottom first? It's pretty stuck but I haven't used massive brute force yet, just sprayed on some WD40 for all...

Hello, I'm getting a single, loud bang and physical shudder in/from the hot water cylinder (indirect) when the heat cycle stops. The CH and HW are working ok but get a terrific clonk and shake and it's definitely from the cylinder. What could that be? Thanks a lot!

Hi, Is it completely mad to use two 'WC Connector inc pipe boss' like this? If so, any suggestions please? Thanks for your help.

Hello, What's the best way to connect garden hose to a standard 1.5" BSP pump valve? There are expensive flush adaptors to replace the pump body (e.g. Fernox Powerflow Pump Head Adapter) but I just want to whip the whole pump off and use the valves. Seems simple in theory, but what combination...

Hello, I am planning to fit a whole-house pump to boost hot and cold (standard, open vented system). My house has an extension which includes an en-suite. There are two 22mm cold feeds from the loft tank, one for the main house and one for the extension. How should I connect the pump to both...

Hello, first post, nice to be here! Got a Potterton Netaheat Profile 80e conventional boiler. The heating works fine with the boiler thermostat turned right up (5 or Max). But if the thermostat is above 2 then the boiler thermal trip activates when heating water for the cylinder. It works ok...
