Hello, We have a Samsung WW90J5456FC/EU W/M which is now about 4.5 years old. We used to have it running over night in a utility room a few metres away and only separated by a door from our bedroom. Recently the final spin seems to have got so noisy that it regularly wakes us up and we cannot...

We have a Scantronic 9448+ main panel and a 9427 secondary panel. One of the PIRs is faulty and this stops the alarm to set, i.e. every time you set it it just sounds. I wanted to go into the program mode and take the one zone out until I have replaced the PIR. I looked through the documentation...

I want to wire an immersion heater back in. I have a couple of spare breakers left in the CU- 2x 32A and 1x 40A. I was hoping for a 20A one. Can I use a 32A or do I need to go for a 20A?

Happy New Year, I have a problem with the hot water. Our hot water works via a hot water calinder with inputs from a boiler and a solar panel loop. The cylinder is made of copper and the inflow has a pressure reducing valving with a 2.1 bar rating. It has a 18l expansion vessel connected nad...

In our shower en-suite two of the 12V halogens have stopped working. 3 others still work. The bulbs are fine. We had this bathroom done about 14 years ago. I remember talking to the electrician about the transformers, but not where he fitted them. The bathroom installer put another plasterboard...

Are there any EV jacket. Goggling I can find plenty of cylinder jackets for large sizes but nothing for an EV of about 20L. Does anyone know of any? Or would I need to do a blue peter job to insulate?

Now that the heating is going back on, one raditor does not want to play. After the winter I usually leave all the TRVs on full open. When I switched the heating back on, ALL the raditors were warming up as mormal. I then turn the TRVs to the position adequate for the rooms. After that one...

Hello, I am not sure where to post this. In electrical, General... I am looking for a replacement for a rubber cable "protection". This rubber sleeve is sitting around the cable length adapter on a throttle cable on my Breva 1100. The rubber sleeve has degraded and pretty much perished. I...

In our hot water solar system we have a "pressure" release valve, although the system is not really running high pressures. Anyway as the system is 18years old, we had/have some grit from decayed antifreeze in the system. The antifreeze is replaced and clear again and the system was flushed...

In our extraction hood lights we have 2 G4 bulbs. They both went within a short period. As I could not buy halogens a while back I bought replacement LED G4s. When I put the LEDs - which had some kind of circuit board and lots of little SMDs in a transparent gel shape - into the hood lights and...

I am doing our fence. We inherited it when we moved in and it is in need of TLC. We have concrete posts CONCRETED in big way and I am not going to touch them even though they are wonky and sadly the people who placed them were either ****ed or held the spirit level and the tape measures...

We have a copper hot water tank with an expansion vessel. The tank is limited to 2bar with a pressure limiting valve. Suddenly our hot water pressure was a bit variable. I tapped the expansion vessel and instead of a half hollow sound it was all dull. Not sure why we lost the pressure... I...

In September I had to replace our CH pump. I fitted a Grundfos UPS3 15-5065 130. The pump is working o.k. When we put the CH on, we started to get a waterhammer bang which we have not had since we live in this house, which has been 21 years. But I am not 100% certain whether the waterhammer...

Yesterday evening I put the heating on and it should have been running with the hot water, but downstairs was not getting warm at all and the temperature in the hot water cylinder was not rising. Upstairs the radiators were getting warm. Initially I thought that the pump had failed, but this...

I have the feeling that our CH pump has failed. Today the heating was on and some radiators warmed up, but then there was no more. The pump is humming but I cannot feel / hear any pump action. Also the cylinder temperature is not rising much despite the boiler being nice and hot and the pilot...

I have just promoted my Titan TTB357GHT from Screwfix into the bin. It looked good on the spec sheet and when I bought it reviews were good - not anymore. It failed on the drive train stripping the cogs and now not engaging the blades even with thin branches. Titan is a Screwfix own brand...

We have a hot water solar panel on the roof. A couple of days ago the pump was making a sqeeching noise and I thought the pump was broken. I disconnected the pump and planned to look for a new one but also wanted to check the function and removed it. On the bench the pump worked fine and I...

Can anyone give me a rough idea what it will cost to put hip tiles back on. The storm peeled one hip off neatly. Some survived and some are smashed. See pictures.

We have a RJ11 socket in the sitting room behind the TV. It has never worked as far as I know but the phone line did go into the house and was t-ed there when we bought the house when there was still a NTLworld. The socket is System45 made by AVE (Italian company) like a lot of our switches. See...

We have had a copper hot water cylinder with an expansion vessel fitted around 2003. We had a leak on the second expansion vessel in this time. While the first one just vented water from the air inlet valve at the top and was not too much of a problem until I got a new one, this "new" one had...
