About 3 months ago the freezer suddenly began warming up. I emptied it and defrosted/dried it all out. A few days later I tried it again and it began cooling down and was again working perfectly. I didn't trust it, so I put the outdoor thermometer from my weather station inside and set up...

This is my daughter's park home in Berkshire. Her outside tap froze/thawed and leaked. She is newly on her own with two kids so with no water/toilets on a Sunday we talked her through replacing the leaking joint which luckily was just a speed-fit elbow which she did (in the rain!) perfectly...

I was about to add a bell cast bead to a wall on my early 60's quirky house. But there is a gap between the wall and the paving. I could just fill it with cement but it looks deliberate somehow so I don't want to add more problems to an already damp house. I can't tell if there ever was a...

Everything works perfectly - microwave, grill and oven but I found it quietly turning by itself this morning, door closed, stone cold. I think the light was on too. If you open the door it stops as normal then caries on turning when you close the door. The display works normally when you...

I'm hoping this is just a question for chippies and not underpinners (and certainly not undertakers!) I have a bedroom door that has started closing by itself. It doesn't do it in normal swing shut sort of way but a more subtle, turn your back and it's closed next time you go past sort of way...

It's a two panel corner shower and quite old (Year 2000 ish) Matki. The glass door was catching on closing and I discovered that although the aluminium upright side was screwed firmly to the wall the next part in was able to pull out a bit at the top distorting the frame enough to stop the...

I just arrived back from holiday to find my freezer full of not quite frozen food. The fridge part didn't seem too good either. I emptied both parts and left it for the day turned up but it's actually warm (16c) in both the fridge and freezer now. It's a 5 year old Whirlpool arc 4324...

I'm in the same boat with my old dishwasher as I was with with my old combination oven which I fixed recently thanks to the help I received here. (y) It must be 8 or 9 years old but like the oven it's been working perfectly and I hate chucking stuff away that I could fix. The fault is that it...

I just wondered if anyone has any tips before I replace this oven. It is around 8 years old and it's as if the lights are on but nobody is home! Absolutely everything works as normal, the turntable turns and the display and all its functions act normally but there is no heat from the oven...

Hi everyone, had to sign up again although I've been a member since 2008. Lost my password plus email provider (Orange) which has closed down. :rolleyes: I have an outdoor hi lo lamp which has stopped working. I replaced the halogen bulb with this...
