All done, thanks for the help everyone really appreciated as always :)

I did think about that and it looks easy enough to do but I figured it was the circuit board that was probably broken so came on here instead lol Its a Long story. To be honest it should be the electrician coming back and swapping it but he's fallen out with the builders etc and for the sake of...

Ahhh sorry mate, i understand now! Thats brilliant thanks for your help, i'll give it a try!

My new fan doesnt have a switched live on though? its only the permanent and neutral?

Thanks for the reply mate, Yeah the old one did have a timer after the light went off but that doesnt really bother me. How would I wire it up to just come on and off with the light?

Hi all, Just a quick one, i think i know the answer but thought its worth the try. The bathroom extractor needed replacing and it would appear ive bought the wrong one. Our old one came on when the bathroom light was turned on and has 3 connectors - a permanent live, a switched live and a...

Thanks again for your help yardie, yeah i was just looking on ebay for replacement wheel but noticed they all came with the brackets and like you say its a very tight space, even after i get that side off its still small. Hmmm I'll see if i can at least find the part I need and its a step closer...

Hit the nail right on the head yardie cheers! Ive just removed the side and as u can see from the pic attached (hopefully lol), the belt is dangling so i managed to get it back on the jockey wheel (didnt know what that was called but do now lol cheers mate) and gave it a couple of turns but...

Thanks for the replies, all really helpful. I have just taken then top off and the belt is intact but its loose. Doing a quick search Im guessing the belt just needs putting back on the tension pully under the drum behind the fan. It looks easy enough on you tube but i think i might get someone...

A long story short, we have a Hotpoint TCM580 dryer (14 months old) and the drum has stopped spinning. When looking on the internet there are various problems that it could be and we'd have to get someone to come out and have a look at it to diagnose and fix.....would it be better to just cut...

Thanks mate, thats abit cheaper. lol I only did a quick search tbh but at that price its worth trying that before the circulation pump maybe. Its just strange how no fault lights come on and it just kind of stops and makes noises every so often. Oh well, a list of things to try again in the...

I better add aswell....apart from the initial flashing lights that appeared the first time there are no fault lights at all, it just comes to a stop and doesnt appear to do anything! Cheers Hmmm just found this too - http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/hotpoint-aquarius-fdl570-dishwasher.411602/...

Thanks for the link mate, im just working through google now but didnt see that one! Ive been doing abit of tipping as per this thread from 2012 - http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/hotpoint-aquarius-fdl570-flashing-error-lights-no-water.319323/ I tipped it up for about a minute and quite abit...

Thanks alot mate, really appreciated! Ive just looked again and its definitely the coating (I just saw it melted and assumed the worse lol). Yeah we'll leave a bigger gap next time, I ddnt even realise it had a coating on...I think its game over with this machine though :( Thanks again :D

Thanks John, I think your bang on there. Im going to take another look but I think your right....I didnt realise it had a coating on the back. Back to square one lol Is it dangerous as is? (providing it worked fine i mean)

Ive just joined the website and been on the hotpoint website but it says no further action is needed i.e it hasnt been recalled? Abit of a contradiction but i guess i'll ring hotpoint on Tuesday. Washing machine broke last week and now the dishwasher! grrrrrrrrr Thanks again in advance for any...

Evening all, Weve had a Hotpoint Dishwasher FDL570 for 3-4 years and tonight it stopped working mid cycle. All of the lights started flashing on the front and since then it will not start or finish a cycle, it just appears stuck. Doing some troubleshooting online caused me to pull the...

Thanks for the reply mate. I don't think it's upvc, it's actually got a coat of paint on now. I noticed a couple of houses right up the street have painted theirs so I'll send the wife round to ask what they did. Thanks anyway :)

Evening all, We live in a "new build" barratt house and my wife wants to paint the front door black. I honestly dont know what its made of so ive enclosed a pic in the hope someone knows what type of front door Barratt use. It would be great if someone could advise me how to prep the door and...

Brilliant, cheers mate really appreciated!
