    Ceiling fan has slowed down

    I did link the item. Fair enough I don't know the terminology, but this is a DIY forum

    Ceiling fan has slowed down

    They each have their own remote control and all three remote controls work on all three fans. From the replies above, I am assuming that it is still a capacitor issue then. I was (probably incorrectly) under the impression that the capacitor would be easily accessed for replacement. And so I...

    Ceiling fan has slowed down

    Hi everyone. I have 3 of these ceiling fans/lights. Here is a link to the fan: https://is.gd/mNrV62 I have had them for about 5 years. They have 3 speed settings. One of them slowed down to about half of the speed that it should be. I have cleaned all of the dust off the 3 blades. That didn't...

    Fixing WC on tiled floor

    Have this sorted more or less, apart from the fact that even with the 2 back screws in place the toilet bowl moves. I can clean off the old silicon and go again, but will silicon around the edge of the bowl be enough? Are these toilet bowls flat underneath? If so, I'd also add some silicon in...

    Fixing WC on tiled floor

    It was cleaner before the pan moved, but I guess that is the least of my worries. :)

    Fixing WC on tiled floor

    Pan connector looks new. I just had a close look. However, the boxed tiling around the waste tube is broken. Perhaps that is causing the septic tank type smell. Another possibility is the shore/drain cover on the floor in the bathroom. I opened it and because it was tiling on top of tiling, it...

    Fixing WC on tiled floor

    Thanks guys. I'm not sure if he used a new connector/seal. I suppose I trusted him enough at the time not to observe. Not that I'd know much about that either. And yeah, the toilet was removed and refitted by the tiler. He insisted on fitting the tiles under the toilet rather than cutting around it.

    Fixing WC on tiled floor

    Christmas week, we had a man in to put down a wood effect tiled floor in our WC. It was the 22nd when he started but it was a small room so I figured he could get it done in a day. He agreed, and said a few hours would be enough. As always happens, he didn’t finish it on the 22nd and he said...

    Fleck Water Heater tripping the power (Spain)

    This is gonna sound silly but I noticed a couple of plug ins, one to keep the cat calm and one as a basic air freshener. Both empty and still plugged in. They were warm to touch. I've now removed them and put the water heater back on an the last 15 hours have been fine

    I think it refers to integrated circuits

    Fleck Water Heater tripping the power (Spain)

    I left the water heater unplugged for 12 hours and there was no trip. Mind you, it has been plugged back in now for the last 4 hours and there is no trip yet either.

    Fleck Water Heater tripping the power (Spain)

    It seems to be tripping the differential switch (IMAGE 1). I'm in Madrid, so excuse the Spanish labels on the images. What I find strange is that there is a separate fuse for the bathroom and kitchen, and the water heater is in the bathroom (IMAGE 2). And this never seems to trip. If you look at...

    Fleck Water Heater tripping the power (Spain)

    Nothing hung up recently unfortunately. I just think these heaters are cr@p. Do we all agree it is likely the water heater or is there still a chance it could be something else? For example, on two previous occasions, dead extension cables have caused trips. I might chance asking the LL I...

    Fleck Water Heater tripping the power (Spain)

    Thanks for the reply. The agreement we had with the LL was that since he did the place up completely before we moved in, we would be responsible for maintenance. That said, he did replace the first two that failed quickly as he felt that they had died very quickly indeed. On this occasion, he...

    Fleck Water Heater tripping the power (Spain)

    Has anyone used these water heaters before? I'm renting a home and the landlord insists on this heater as he installed one when we moved in. I've lived here 7 years and we're on our 3rd one. The first one died after a year by leaking everywhere. The second one lasted 2 and a half years but also...

    Window protection for my Cat

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Love the parachute one! :) The cills are big enough for her to sit on alright, but I worry about her being distracted by an insect or a bird or something like that and just instinctively launching herself at it. She is quite playful. Maybe I'll just put more...
