My sister in law has a Whirlpool AWZ7303 Condensor tumble dryer that's a few years old now. More often than not, when you press the start button, you can hear the motor trying to start the drum turning but it doesn't manage. Around every 5th attempt, it fires into life and then works fine...

I've what seems on the surface to be a bit of an odd problem with my hot water. When you first open up a hot tap after a bit of time, there is a build up of pressure so the water comes out at very high force, but this settles down straight away and the water is piping hot. The problem is...

Hi, My parents have an oil fired central heating system in their Bungalow which is around 34 years old. Although various parts of the system (Boiler, hot water tank pump etc) have been renewed over the years, the one thing that is now a constant source of frustration for them is that they...

Hi Footprints, Apologies for not posting a reply sooner. Was fairly flat out with work last week and was still hoping the plumber would be able to come and help me out. Anyway on Saturday after having spent some more time researching and watching some videos on youtube to get some hints...

Latest update. Still waiting on plumber (lots of bad weather up here so lots of broken down boilers to look at) and wondering if I would actually be able to fit this new Aerjec myself. If so, could compression fittings be used instead of Soldering? I know it will need at least a partial...

Hi footprints, Thanks for that info regarding the brand. Myson would have been right enough as this is a Barratt house and it had a Myson pump (now replaced) and Myson TRVs. I'll go and try and source one in town. There are a few places to try which is handy. Will let you know how I...

Hi Footprints, my apologies - i just realised I never posted the actual link to the photos so here is it http://www.flickr.com/photos/59008699@N07/sets/72157632134867163/ Have heard from the plumber and it looks like he can come on Monday. Meantime what would you thoughts be on a...

Apologies for not posting a further update. I have been away with work most of the week and not been online. So I am still waiting for my engineer to come and visit (time of the year - poor guy is flat out) but there seems to be a strong suspicioun that the air seperator may be...

Hi Footprints, Todays update is as follows. The engineer came out and checked the pump - but he says its working fine. There is still water coming out of it when you open the bleed screw but not very much - he says that he expected more coming through than there was. He says...

Further info. Having checked the upstairs pipework after the boiler has fired and boiled, it seems no water is getting to the pump or surrounding pipes. I have re-bled all the rads, pump and highest point pipework but there is no air. The pump does sound like its making an unusual noise...

Thanks footprints. Everything has switched off overnight so I will go and try it again and see how we get on. All of my rads on the ground floor have drain points, so I wondered if there was anything to gain from opening them to see if there was any air? The flow and return pipes to the...

ok, so I tried just having the HW circuit on by its self and the bolier stat set at the lowest setting but the boiler is still kettlling and cutting out. What other options might I have? Many Thanks Duncan

Hi, The boiler fires and runs - green flashing light as normal. If i leave it to its on devices it will lock out - then the right turns red and flashes and it stays this way until I reset it. I just tried minimum just now - but it was with both circuits on as it was before I checked this...

I've got a vented central heating system comprising of a Potterton Suprima 40 boiler, Grundfos Selectric pump and unvented HW cylinder. Last week I lost heat to the downstairs radiators. Bleeding didnt fix this nor was their any air came out of them. The F&E tank in the loft was pretty...

Hello everyone. Firstly, apologies for the length of this post, however my central heating saga has been ongoing for several months so there is lots of history. I have a Potterton Suprima 40l Gas boiler, with a Santon Premier unvented hotwater tank. I have 12 rads, microbore piping...
