    Indesit oven error F53 code / no longer heating up

    The oven locked itself and the door so I had to turn off the power and can now open it again. Only thing is the oven is no longer heating up at all. I’m seeing an “F53 error” code is flashing up with a symbol of a key. I have looked at the troubleshooting section of the manual and it says...

    Punch down tools.

    Inspired by another thread, which I don't wish hi-jack. Can anyone recommend a decent, relatively low price punch down tool? I've had a cheap one which was junk and a brand name (can't remember which) from which part of the actual punch sheared. I don't terminate data modules regularly, but it...

    I have a new single socket which has failed after 6 months of use - on removing the plug the socket was found to have cracked and the switch would no longer toggle. Power had also stopped running through it (despite the switch being on) - but it did not trip the consumer unit. Any ideas what...

    Broken Fluorescent Ballast - no longer available - options?

    Hi, I am replacing some bulbs in my parents' lounge ceiling light to G9 5W (LED) bulbs. It was originally operated by dimmer switch, but the dimmer function no longer works, so am unsure whether to buy dimmable or non dimmable bulbs. Advice gratefully received, many thanks.

    Lighting cable no longer needed

    I have a cable which was used to supply power to an illuminated niche fitted into a cavity wall. The niche has been removed, would it be okay to terminate the cable with a maintenance free junction box and slide it back into the cavity?

    Fused unit no longer required

    I've just removed an old fused electrical heater fitted in the middle of the ring circuit and am now left with the hole and wiring (see pic). Ideally I want to just cover this up with a bit off plasterboard so it looks like nothing was ever there. Is it OK to do this or is this deemed unsafe? I...
