I finally got around to taking the loose tile off and it appears it was dot and dabbed as predicted. So that no doubt explains why the other two cracked. Should I try to squeeze some adhesive behind the adjoining tiles or will it make any difference? Should I apply some kind of sealant to the...

So what do I need to do to fix it? I'm not sure what I need to buy.

The stick in the wall might be a good way to go. After all that's how the original door frame is attached to the brick wall.

There is a frame attached to the floor underneath those tiles and I added another support under the outside corner myself. That end has been sealed with silicone now. The whole bath is a bit of a cock up to be honest. I measured up before all the old tiles came off not realising how much extra...

I had my bathroom tiled over the summer. A week before Christmas I noticed that one of the tiles by the bath is loose, and a couple of tiles have hairline cracks. Of course the tiler did not respond to my attempts to contact him so I need to fix it myself. The tiler grouted between the bath...

Alas that's the verdict. I like this machine and how simple it is but it turns out the circuit board is fried and it costs more to get a new part than a new machine.

I don't think it has any kind of features like that. It's a pretty simple machine and about 15 years old.

I've already drained it and checked the filters. There's really no need for all the jacking up and tilting on this machine -- it drains quite easily. Alas that was not the issue. It will drain just fine.

I wouldn't say they are womanly concerns in particular, but I can't be bothered to yank the machine out and take it apart right now.

What's around the rest of the garden? Was there anything on the spot before? Slight possibility that there's something below the ground surface that is retaining water but I imagine Conny is right and the water table is very high where you are.

Amazing. Love a good recycling project.

It doesn't have error codes or flashing anything.

All things considered I called the local legends of a husband-wife duo who fix just about everyone's appliances around here. I was mostly wondering if it was something really stupid as machinery is not my forté. I'm much better at carpentry.

Alas not the best but it has survived for quite a while. It's a John Lewis JLWM1203 which I think is actually made by Electrolux. I've had to replace a couple of bits on it in 15 years but it seems pretty solid all things considered.

Pretty much none. It doesn't even run for a full second before stopping and starting again.

My guess is that it probably is the water level sensor. Pulling the machine out is a giant pain in the backside but I have a feeling that's what I'll have to do.

Unfortunately I'm the one who does the DIY around here. The husband just pays for stuff.

I'll check but I put it on a drain cycle and it ran that fine. I only just put laundry in and out didn't start to fill in the first place so I don't think it's an issue of something being stuck and preventing drainage unless there's a sensor that stops it from filling if there's something in the...

A little hard to describe but I just went to put some washing on and the water stop-starts repeatedly. I'll probably call the legendary local repair guy but anything I should check first? Turned off and on again etc already.

Hey if it's easier to get it in the wall straight then I'm all for it.
