Thanks. Sorry to sound numb, but:- 1) Where can I find the door switch screws? 2) Is the door seal the thinnish grey rubber/plastic strip thing that runs down either side of the DW?

I didn't install it myself - it was put in when we had a new kitchen last year. So, have managed to get the new latch fitted (and using the correct slots), but when I do this the door won't shut. It's now as if there isn't enough plastic coming out of the front of the DW to grab hold of the...

They appear to be identical in size, it's just that the new latch seems to get 'stuck' at the first set of cutouts and doesn't want to move further back when I squeeze it. Suppose I am trying to do it without taking the DW out.......might have to try that (didn't really want to start messing...

I've done that & the first groove fits easily, but it looks like the plastic is too tight for the hole - unless I need to really force it. It's the 2nd set of grooves that are causing the prob & I don't want to use too much force in case I damage something. Should it definitely fit in the...

Hi, Have (finally!) managed to get my hands on a modified door hook & just attempted fitting it. The old one came out easily and the new one goes in easily, but, i can only get the new one into the same position as the old one (if that makes sense). In other words I can only push the...

:wink: Have managed to find a copy of the service bulletin online. Gave them a call but their 'customer care' dept isn't open now until Monday, will try again then. By the way how easy is it to replace the door hook - do you just 'squeeze' the prongs on the existing one to get them away...

Thanks for the info. Is the door hook the grey plastic thing that sticks out of the top/front of the dishwasher, if so how do you get to it? Also, if it's a known fault, do you think I would be in for compensation for the worktop/door?

Hi, Hope someone can help with my query. About a year and a half ago we had the above dishwasher installed & everything has been fine. Last week however I noticed that the laminate had started to come away from the underside of the worktop just above the dishwasher door (slightly off...

Thanks, i'll get it checked out.

Hi, I've read plenty of posts with people having problems with shower wiring, fuses & switches etc & thought i'd see how hot the shower switch was the other day after I'd had a shower, you could touch it, but it was pretty hot. The shower is an 8.5KW and as far as I know the cable is 10mm...

Thanks for all the points, I have a few comments though. The cooker hood fan rarely gets used, we mainly use the built in light as the cooker is in a corner - so the rising heat would make it quite hot. Regarding glass & food the bulbs are behind plastic lenses - if this makes a...

The standard bulb does fit ok, I just wondered if the proper 'cooker hood' bulbs were special in any way - like the resistance to extreme temps or some other factors.

Hi, This may sound life a daft question, but i'll ask it anyway. My cooker hood bulb has blown & i'd like to know if I can replace it with a normal 'candle' type bulb (40w, small screw fitting) ? Or do I have to use a more expensive cooker hood bulb (ie the small pygmy ones) - what makes...

Thanks for all your help, it's made me feel a bit better - i'll keep an eye on it though.

Thanks for the quick replies. The airing cupboard get's quite warm, as there's a mini-radiator in it. The Shower switch is a ceiling mounted pull switch. The shower is 8.5kw The MCB says "B40" (40A ?). By putting a tape measure up against the cables it reads approx 10-12mm from...

Hi, The mains cable from the shower runs on the inside of an airing cupboard, I've noticed that the cable feels warm to the touch when the shower has been used (for a normal 3-5 minute shower). Is this normal ? How hot should it get ? Thanks.
