A friend acquired a second hand Hoover UltraCare 1600 washing machine. Previous owner said it works ok but you have to close the door gently. Well no matter how gently (or hard) you close the door it just won't work. I had a quick look and the only sign of life from the machine is the door lock...

I got it wrong when I said it only tripped when you switched on the light, he said on all previous occasions it tripped out when you came to switch OFF the light. Any thoughts as to why it only blew when switching off the power and not when turning on? After the last trip it blew again when you...

Yes it only trips out (flash bang) when you go to switch on the kitchen light. Mainly only use one of the light switches (the one I replaced) but after resetting the mcb he tried again using the other light switch but another bang and mcb trip. I couldn't say for sure if other lights /...

Friend of mine has a florescent kitchen light (2 way switching) and every now & then when come to switch on the light there's a bang & a blue flash seen around the switch area and trips the mcb lighting circuit. Once reset he said it can go several weeks before doing the same again. I replaced...

Looks like it's been arcing for a while as the tip of one end of the metal contact strip was black. I'll have a rummage through my bits & bobs box to see if I can make something to securely hold the contact strip in place permanently. Then if we need to change speed just pull the knob...

I was wondering how much gas my boiler pilot light consumed and took a meter reading at 9pm yesterday and again at exactly 9pm today. The heating & water have been off all that time with just the boiler pilot light lit. I included the 2 red decimal numbers in the meter readings and in 24hrs had...

Well hats off to Danfoss. I was going to splash out on a new programmer as I didn't think the old one would still be under warranty and rang danfoss to enquire which programmer would be suitable. They said they still make that model and very kindly sent me one FOC. I just had to send a £30...

Thanks for that, much appreciated.

I have a mechanical CH programmer / timer (model: Danfoss SET3M) which has started to make a loud continuous ticking noise. Someone suggested putting a dab of grease on the cogs but I'm not sure how the thing comes apart. I can see a screw underneath the large round dial but I have no idea how...
