Hi, we had the same problem with a box room. In the end I stripped off the plaster dot and dabbed it with 25mm (insulation + board) insulated board;. Whilst it is not very thick it has done the job. It has improved the warmth in the room. On removing the plaster I found that an air brick...

Hi, I had a problem with the above machine but lots of Hoover machines are similar. It would not start the cycle and cane up with E08 error code. I found this relates to the motor and is usually to do with the carbon brushes on the motor. I found this site which shows how to change them (quite...

Hi ydrol, if the mold is black it is more than probable that it is due to condensation. The lack of ventilation causes this and although you may have trickle vents in the widows they are not always that effective. You should also check that your air bricks have not been blocked up (I found...

This is not an issue but some info for others that may have the same problem. I have a Baumatic BD1631 and the wheels on the lower basket have all broken over time. I was horrified to see the price on some sites was £15 per wheel!!! or on Ebay 8 for £30 so I did some research and found the same...

I don't know I hadn't thought of testing that option. Will have a go tomorrow and let you know

No, as far as I can see the resistor is not burnt - is your line of thinking that it is a power surge when the main power feed is switched on and therefore it is blowing the internal fuse?

Thanks SparkyMarka - the battery is brand new

Hi, getting frustrated!!! I've been trying to replace the bell box with a new Honeywell AG6 bell box. I have managed to get it connected up and it works fine when the battery in the panel is connected. However, when I apply mains power it gives off a continuous beeping sound (I think this is...
