This perfectly ancient dishwasher has worked for 28 years! the only thing replaced is a wheel for one of the shelves. The frontdisplay is a bit manky behind the clear facia. Today however it has packed up. Seems there is an issue with the remote solenoid valve/ filter. After purging water at...

Machine makes slight thumping noise about once per revolution in both directions. Seems to be from the drum. (Drum was marked using tape but strangely noise is not repeated at same point as one would expect but seems to occur slightly more than one revolution). Rear bush/bearing looks fine...

This three year old washer dryer switched itself on during the night. The door was ajar. Various lights are now displayed but the main power switch does not turn the machine off(or on).

Can anyone suggest a supplier for this item or a Universal type that will replace it. Capillary length of 1800 though slightly shorter one might do.

According to my mother inl aw this fridge is not holding a low temperature. Each time when I call to see it the temperature is about 10 degrees and there is no ice on the back wall. Not sure if it has just been in defrost mode hence the slighly higher temperature. The freezer section according...

Just noticed that a burning smell when opening the dishwasher to put in a dirty cup. The washer was part way through programme with water in the bottom. I noticed that part of the element near the first securing clip was literally red with heat like a full on element in a cooker. I turned it...

My Hotpoint Integrated fridge(Model 6935) of some 17 years vintage stedfastly refuses to drop below 10 degres centigrade. The compressor never stops presumably because it doesn't get cool enough - it doesn't switch off no matter where the control is turned to except when the control knob turns...

My mother in laws 10 yeear old Lavamat 50500 makes a horrendous banging when it goes to top end of fast spin. After a battle to extricate the machine from under the worktop I have only had the opportunity to give it one run to try and identify the fault. It makes an incessant hammering when...

For 16 years at home (since new) we have used the oil fired heating system to heat the house and the water. Although fitted to the copper cylinder we never used the external electrical heater ( can you call it an immersion?). I have now switched it on. Within a minute or two the copper cylinder...

I have successfully removed and replaced the faulty heater element from my machine. It required a bit of brute force and ignorance. Does anyone out there know any tips that facilitate the removal of the said type of heater that does not involve a lot of cursing and swearing or damage to the...
