    Tecnik dishwasher tripping rcd after 10-15 minutes of run

    Nope. Probably a bit old model. Two 55° and one 65° cycle. How much does heating element cost? Wondering what is the total cost of replacing that.

    Tecnik dishwasher tripping rcd after 10-15 minutes of run

    Hi, My tecnik dishwasher is tripping the rcd after 10-15 run. There is no cold cycle to test if heating element is the culprit. Is it worth even calling the electrician or better off replacing it directly? I am reluctant to pay £50-60 and eventually paying 250 to replace it. Thanks Neeraj

    Messed up newel post

    The hole in the base is little more than 50mm so I guess I need something similar in the base. I will try to find a joinery shop nearby.

    How to re-pressurize Ideal Isar boiler

    Thank you. I finally found the screw you kindly pointed. However, I think I have created a bit of problem. Because of the tight space I could not close the screw back in time and the pressure now reads little over 2 (boiler is switched off). How do I bring it back now? Thanks again

    Thank you all, this is very helpful. I have taken a closeup of the pipes. Am I supposed to be turning the top or the bottom screw. I have circled both the screws here.
