I don't see the UK listing At the bottom of my post there is a clickable link with the words "click here to go to Gizmo's link."   Just click on the link. It will take you to a listing on ukwhitegoods.co.uk. The price is <span class="price-container price-final_price tax weee"><span...

What SudsMaster said.   I recently bought a cheap Chinese replacement for a Ryobi cordless tool battery charger, on Ebay Australia. It was a fraction of the price of a genuine one.   When it arrived, it wouldn't charge my batteries, it showed a red fault light. If I lifted the battery...

Glad you got the problem fixed. Yes it's normal for the brushes to wear unevenly.   Welcome and kia ora. I'm an Aussie and love visiting NZ. We visited Whakatane about 5 years ago, it's a beautiful location. My Dad was part of the construction team that built the Kawerau paper mill in the...

try this... The part number on your washing machine shock absorber (4411610) shows up in the list of "alternative part numbers" in this UK listing. (Which I found by google searching "Miele 4411610.") They are not genuine Miele parts, but the price is right.   A rough check of shockers -...

Can I say "nice buns, Eddie" or will that get me sent to Dirty Laundry?

Oh, FFS.

Wow that is clever. I'm impressed.

Hi Henrik   My suggestion isn't for a pump failure, it is for a partial blockage of the water passages. This reduced flow changes the current draw of the motor which causes the computer to mis-interpret the data and continue to fill, because it has not sensed the motor current it expects when...

Rich's answer sounds like the same technology as the F&P I mentioned. It is an easy thing to check - remove the main filter/strainer, look inside for any inner/"hidden" second level strainer that might be blocked with food waste.   Pressure switches in dishwashers tend to be less reliable...

I am not at all familiar with Miele dishwashers, but here is a suggestion...   Fisher and Paykel dishwashers from 20 years ago or so used to have an unusual water measuring method. The computer monitored the current draw of the wash pump motor to determine if there is enough water. When water...

Go Leon!   If you need any help sweet-talking David into a visit to NZ, talk to me about things to see and do around Christchurch. It is a gorgeous city, Stephen and I just love the place. We are planning a trip to the South Island late this year, and the finale will be a few nights visiting...

reply to SudsMaster (With another "off on a tangent" apology to Sarah...)   Well First, I'd suggest you chase up if there is a restriction on metal roofs for residential in your area... It is a great roof material, not sure why there would be a restriction. Roofing is quite different in...

reply to Sudsmaster Hi Sudsmaster Yes it is a comfortable home - cool in summer and warm in winter.   The hot water panels (in the centre of the house roof) attach to two horizontal galvanized rails, like two 4 inch angle irons. One above and one below the panels. The galvanized mounts are...

Is it possible to remove that plastic top ring, then clean between the inner and outer tubs by first spraying a cleaning product down the gap, then poking a rag down there with a fine stick like a ruler??   (Just trying to avoid the difficult task of removing the inner basket, if possible.)  ...

big construction projects and mood Hi Sarah This is pretty "normal" so don't be hard on yourself.   We built our own house from scratch - starting with rough-sawn timber, we made everything ourselves - post and beam frames, windows, mud/straw mix walls, assembled the kitchen and bathroom...

Just do a few really hot washes. You probably don't need to pull it apart if it is working OK. Maybe ask here for suggestions on how to clean the tub without dismantling it. I would try a long, very hot wash with a big dose of dishwasher detergent - no regular clothes in the wash, but maybe...

cycles So far I have run a 30 minute quick wash and a 55 degrees wash. There are only 5 cycles, not much variety. Each cycle can also have a half load selected, the manual doesn't say what changes when you select half load. There is also a "tablet" button for when you use all-in-one detergent...

legality It is a grey area here. It is certainly unusual for a store to have the skip (dumpster) in a public access area. Usually they are locked away. I have asked police in the past about salvaging things from household hard rubbish collections at the roadside, generally I have had approval...
