Can someone advise what type of pull cord switch I need to replace this on the left please? It is for the extractor fan in our bathroom (no light, just the extractor) and intermittently doesn't work. I bought this 10amp pull cord switch, but now see it has different wiring (only L1, L2, Com)...

Thank you. Second daft question, do I need to disconnect the backup battery inside the bell box, as I assume it may go off if I disconnect bell box from the circuit board/the power and the battery inside the alarm panel? (though may not as it is probably dead after this many years without...

We have an old style Scantronic 9448+ burglar alarm with 2 entry and 2 PIR. Some of the buttons are no longer responsive - I have tried removing and cleaning the control button pad as suggested on another thread on here, which improved the performance briefly, but now cannot be relied on. We...

I will have to check, but the double socket behind the oven is connected to the cooker isolator above the counter and linked to a specific switch on the fuse box.

Thank you - the photo of the circuit breaker on the fuse box is below.

Sorry for the delayed reply, oven is still sat in its packaging - could I safely replace the existing 13A double socket myself with one of these which seems to be new to the market? https://www.electricpoint.com/stanic-duo-dual-cooker-connection.html As mentioned, the socket (with gas hob...

Can anyone advise on this please? Is it safe to switch a normal double socket for this and wire in a double oven? As mentioned the double socket is already connected to a 45A cooker switch shown in the photo and on a dedicated fuse in the consumer unit. Thank you

Thank you. It sounds like the existing oven shouldn't have been wired in this way either, though no doubt regulations have changed since it was fitted. We have been here over a decade and never had reason to pull the oven out to know how it was wired in . Would replacing the double socket with...

We have bought a replacement built under oven Kenwood KBUDOX21. One online site says it is "plug and play" install, others that it needs hard wiring to a dedicated cooker circuit/switch. We have a red switch in the kitchen (pictured) and a separate circuit breaker on the consumer unit. I have...

Sorted it by drilling one of the catches off the top then it pulled off, as I realised I won't be needing it as it is broken (hence trying to replace it in the first place!) and was annoyed enough to find a workaround. New EP2 now fitted and working.

it does look the right angle but unfortunately it won't budge even with a wiggle and brute force. I don't know if the old version is slightly different on the two top connections, as replicating the angle with the new one next to it on the backplate, it easily lifts off.

Thank you for checking, it is looking like a non-starter for something which should be a quick job. We will have to stick with the old controller for now and add it to the list of jobs when it gets serviced. It is annoying they left this inaccessible when they fitted the boiler - we can't even...

Thank you for replying. It is a Vitodens 100-W WB1B.

Has anyone any thoughts on this please? Can I safely remove the white casing round the bottom of the boiler or is that a no go/it won't create the space I need? Thank you

Thank you. I have the replacement P2 part and have tried to swap, but due to where they have fitted the boiler, the P2002 will not move to 30-40 degrees to slot off . Looking under the boiler it seems that the white piece at the bottom is trim (so not touching the dangerous parts of working...

Good morning, I hope someone can advise. Our Delonghi EC146.B has started leaking. I took the top plastic cover off to investigate and note the rust. When switched on, water is coming out at the point circled in red. As it is a nut shape, I assume this may come off and have some form of...

I am hoping someone can advise please. We have a Potterton EP2002 programmer/timer and the slider keeps falling off, so it looks like we will have to replace the unit. We only use the slider, as when they fitted the new boiler it blocked the programmer in (see photos). I understand that the...

I have now got a multimeter so will need to look up how to use it and what to check. Have been busy, so I haven't arranged an engineer yet (fortunately it isn't cold!).

Thank you. Sorry, I wasn't perhaps clear. The leak was on the spindle. It is in the centre of the valve fitted top to bottom on the pipe with the valve on the side(?) with manual/auto on top, so it appears fitted correctly, but water from the spindle was in the casing. That said, whoever fitted...

No unfortunately I don't have a multimeter (so wouldn't know how to use it, but could buy and learn if it were safe to do so and it would help identify the issue). The Grundfoss pump came on and said 45 and we could hear the flow, but cannot recall what the number normally is to know if it had...
