Hi all, I was hoping someone might be able to advise on the way to test an NTC thermostat as used on my Diplomat ADP8902 (and some Smeg machines too) - it's this one: http://www.espares.co.uk/part/dishwashers/thermostats/diplomat/adp8902/p/1541/976/0/970446/970318/dishwasher-thermostat.html...

Hi all, Am hoping for some help with a fault on our Diplomat ADP 8902 slimline integrated dishwasher. It's started running constantly, as though the cycle is not progressing or is not being told to turn off at the end. I've tried turning it off at the mains for a while (always worth a...

Hi peeps, Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give! Am tiling my kitchen, but have just discovered that the work surface on one side of the cooker we have is slightly lower than the run of worktop on the other side of the cooker (I know, I know - the person who fitted it needs...

Thanks in advance for your help! Our old and trusty Zanussi Aquacycle 1000 (FLA1001W) has stopped spinning (both mid-wash cycle and during the spin cycle). I whipped the back cover off to see if the belt had snapped or come off and that was fine, so checked the carbon brushes on the motor...

Hey peeps, A real quick one that I just want to double-check with the general collective here on DIYnot! We're expecting our first little bub in a few weeks so have been busy decorating the nursery and have bought a cute kiddy-style 3-lamp halogen light for his room. Max rating of the...

Hi peeps! Got a phone call from a mate who has just moved into a new build flat at the weekend - he'd tried to replace the existing light fittings with a fancy new one, but did the usual 'unwire the old ceiling rose, wire all the colours together and trip the circuit breaker' routine. To...

Hi peeps! Here's an interesting one for you (well, at least I think it is interesting!): I've just had my old rewireable blade fuse-type fuseboard replaced for a 17th Edition compliant split-load lah-de-dah consumer unit. The contractor wired the tails into the consumer unit, replaced the...

Except they aren't really that funny. The dishwasher just started playing up again. This model has 5 leds for the 5 programs, and only button marked P to choose the program. It's been running fine, then I came to put it on this evening and I couldn't get the button to make the led cycle...

Hi everyone, and thanks in advance for your help! The house I have moved into has no radiator in the bathroom (bbrrrrrrrr!) so I want to fit a heated towel rail, one of the nice chrome ones (like everyone else has - hey, I'm just one of the masses.........) However, there has been...

Hi, I've got a customer who wants to run 2 welding machines from one 32A 415V IP44 wall mounted socket. The machines both have 32A 415V IP44 plugs. Is there any way to do this? A y-coupler? I personally don't think it's possible, but thought I'd ask you guys!! Thanks akbmcf1

Hi everyone, In my bathroom, there are just two pipes coming out of the wall with push-fit caps on them. I want to (finally) install a radiator/towel rail in there before winter so we have at least some heat. Is there a way to tell which pipe is the feed and which pipe is the return...

Hi everyone, First off, please don't shout at me, as all I have done is replace a switch and I believe I have done everything correctly! In my kitchen I have some downlighters on one circuit, and a main light on another, both originally wired into a metal 2 gang dimmer switch. At times...

Hi guys (and gals), thanks in advance for any help you can give! My tale of woe is as follows: Saturday night/Sunday morning (4:30am) - get woken up by pipes banging and banging and banging nice and loud. Sounded like someone was chained to them and trying to escape (there wasn't, honest)...
