I assume that 5 degrees difference between the top and the bottom, and a red hot compressor casing isn't normal then ??

Okay, checked temperatures inside fridge. The top is about 5 degrees hotter than the bottom. I know heat rises etc, but is this about normal? The bottom is 3 degrees, and the top is about 8. Even if this is normal, is the compressor casing being so hot normal? It cools down when its not...

there was a bit of fluff on it.. nothing I'd say major. Its only two years old and in a new build house.. so perhaps couldn't accumulate that much. However, I have given it a bit of a wipe over. The compressor gets red hot when it kicks in, as does the pipe leading to the condenser.. but the...

Hi all, I've noticed recently that the bottom half of my fridge(indesit TLA 1S) is much colder than the top . The bottom half can freeze things up such as salad etc, the top half doesn't seem cold enough by normal standards. I pulled it out earlier, and the compressor is very hot, too hot to...

theres enough room ... thanks for the help :)

i've easily fitted the two cables into the first downlight, there was enough room, and its neatly done. So, the cable easily hops from the first to the second. The cable run would be... supply >existing ceiling light > first downlight > second downlight The issue is really at the...

i was just going to add the wire at the existing light fitting, and not use any junction boxes? or do i need to split it before this, and add a junction box...

Hi all, want to add two 50w ceiling recessed spots (the halogen types) into the bedroom. Can i just tap into the existing supply at the current ceiling light, and take the supply to the new lights? Ie, id parallel into the existing light, off to the first additional extra light, then on to...

I'm trying to work out exactly whats going on with the phones to be honest. The master socket had three wires connected. I had to take it off to re-route the cable to the next room (it was coming into the kitchen and positioned in the middle of a wall, what use is that !! ) . The socket was...

Hi all, i've got a quick prob. I want a decent braodband speed on ADSL max, currently only getting around 1.4 mbps which is low by any standards. I'm not that far from the exchange. But, my telephones are a bit weird. I've got a box outside the front door, which splits off into two cables...

sorry , i hope no one confused my post with the original posters.. i was just doing a quick thread hijack :) Mine is a bit different.. so i'll start a new thread. Thanks

okay hang on.. so whats wrong with connecting the router via a filter direct to the master socket at its location, and running a network cat5 cable from the router to the back of the house, into a wall mounted network socket? Isn't that just as good? Isnt the ADSL line meant to be as short as...

thanks .. very helpful . I'll try it later on.

PS is there any way i can meter the wires out to make sure they are what they should be coming in?

i followed the standard wiring code.. and i'm99% i made the connection right as i'm used to using IDC anyway. I'l try again at the weekend..

yep i get you.. but i dont think they've done that as there was only the normal three wires connected in the master. okay thanks.. so any idea what may have happened as to why its not working now? I ran just the upstairs one for a while with the downstairs master completely disconnected. Now...

you're are putting the cable through a sealed conduit or plastic hose though, right? otherwise that'd be asking for trouble when it comes to replace a bit in the future.

Hi all. I've got a small prob with the telephone cabling. I've got an underground feed which comes to the house via a small box outside the front door. Now, from what i understand i should have 1 cable with a master socket on the end (in the house) coming from this box, and subsequent...
