The fan in my Beko Fridge/Freezer has stopped spinning. Model CDA660FW. The items in the fast freeze section are beginning to defrost. If I switch off the appliance from the socket, and switch it back on, the fan turns for a few seconds but then it stops. I removed the drawers, and there...

-Vailant combi boiler – ecoTEC plus 824 -Boiler is 3 years old. -The Cold Water-in valve has a flexi hose which is connected to the CH Flow pipe. There are 2 grey knobs on the flexi hose valves which both need to be opened a quarter turn to increase CH boiler pressure. Last week I noticed...

I have mains wired smoke alarms on the landing of each floor (ground, first and second) I need to put smoke alarms in all the bedrooms and reception rooms. I have accesss to run cabling (3 core and earth) to all the rooms on the ground and first floor to interlink them. However i dont...

I've check the access holes in the bends and i'm pretty sure its not a blockage. The water does not rise that much just about 3 inches above the normal water level. But it just doesnt push the tissue down with it.

My newly installed toilet does not flush away the tissue properly. Its a brand new WC so theres nothing wrong with the parts inside. The water level is to the top (an inch below the overflow pipe). When i flush it all the water does drain from the cistern. However some of the water rises in...

HI I have a Vaillant TURBOMAX 242/282/1E boiler. Does anyone know how to manually reset the overheat stat? Quick responses would be really appreciated - i have no heating or hot water and its freezing!! Thanks

The flame on my valiant boiler refuses to ignite, so i have no hot water or heating. The boiler is about 7-8 years old. its the one with the black board with green knobs. with about 7 indicator lights on the left. the top 3 usually come on, but they arent coming on now. The fourth one...

Guys guys guys...i'm glad you are really passionate about this ..but you've both got me really confused with your arguments. A couple of things i would like to point out that might help is The interanl floor is concrete...no wood at all!! The internal floor is approx 25cm higher than the...

I have a very old house (built approx 1880) and it has damp problem at the bottom of the exterior walls (both front and back. Its an old house i dont think there was a damp course put in wen it was built. I just wanted to know what is the best solution to remedy this. I understand you can...

Yes Gasguru thats what the boiler looks like. the heating did work before i bled the radiators, but i only bled the 2 upstairs and none of the ones downstairs. i have also noticed a small leak from one of the radiators downsatiars. (just started yesterday i think.) and have isolated that...

hi Gasguru, Yes it does have two square gouges on the right, pressure and tempurature. If i have trapped air..how can i release the trapped air? Yes the timeclock and room thermostat are on.

By external control if you mean whether i have switched the central heating switch on then yes i have done that. ...if thats not what you mean i'm still lost? thnks

What do you mean by a "call"?

its about 8-10 years ..not much older than that. Any ideas on the problem ...better still the solution?

its not an ecomax or a turbomax i dont think. its pretty old about 8 years. The hot water does work. There is no digital display on the boiler so there cannot be a fault message. I think i may have lost pressure cos i took air out of the radiators. hope that helps.

oh just to let you know the hot water is working fine...its just the central heating not working!!

I found the pressure valve. it was a small back thing next to ahose pipe looking thing. I've increased the preesaure to between 1 and 1.5 however the central heating is still NOT working. I've tried relighting the flam with relight flame button but nothing? what can be the problem now?

i cant see one. the bolier is actually around 8-10 yeards old. Having just read previous posts i think it might have happened cos i let out some air in the radiators..so no leak.

How do increase the water preesure in the central heating heating system. I understand that i have to turn a valve with a srewdriver but which valve is it. I have combi Valiant boiler about 6 years old. A picture of what one looks like would be handy.... if not then a description and location...
