Hi all,
Yesterday I returned home to no hot water after a few days away.
After a brief inspection it seems the fault lies with the Horstmann Electronic 7 Water Heater.
The display is still visible but the controller is completely unresponsive. If I select either of the following buttons...
Hi, I have 2 hallway lights that switch on together (used to before I got my hands on them). I am trying to install 2 spot lights. I have added pics of my wiring, which does not work. Pic1 light switches on but wont switch off, Pic2 light wont switch on. Some wires have coloured tape so I have...
I've recently moved into rented property and I currently have no lighting in the bathroom (2 wall lamps and 3 ceiling lamps).
The landlord believed it to be an intermittent issue and said they'd get an electrician in to replace the 2 way cord switch. I said I'd replaced my own in the past and...
Hi there,
I've had 4 plumbers & 1 electrician look at my problem (seemingly without dedicating too much time unfortunately), spending more than £1000 already 😣, but none of them has found the issue to my problem - that's why I'm reaching out to you!
I have the below set up
1x gas system...

A single switched 13 amp socket that my extractor fan is plugged into has stopped working after 10 years. The fan itself works when plugged into another socket. Today I replaced the switched socket like-for-like, but the outlet still does not provide power to anything plugged into it.
As far...

I have two matching front room lights that are operated by a 2 gang dimmer switch. The right light operated by the right button has stopped working. The left one is fine. I can't figure out the problem. Help would be appreciated.
I've swapped the two lights (the entire fixtures and bulbs) and...
I have 2 double outdoor led lights on a dimmer. Over xmas the lights flickered then went out. I thought one of the wires came loose, i checked all connections, all ok. Will a faulty dimmer cause this? or is the power board likely to be the problem? A bit hard to get a sparky at this time of...
I don't attempt much electrical work other than replacing switches or lighting fixtures, so keep that in mind please.
I have a fixture above my dining room table that can hold about 8-10 small 25w bulbs - there's only a handful in there now - waiting for more from Amazon. Anyway, it stopped...
Hi all
Can anyone please advise, i have fitted a new fused light switch cover in the kitchen as the press switch part broke on the old one, however I wired the new one up and all worked well, but when I screwed it back onto the wall it would not work, took it off the wall and it worked again. 🤯
I've got a QM150RF in the living room. The bottom vent is outputting hear fine. But the top vent seems to not be working over the last day or so. Is this a fault or part of it's heat adaptation?
Hi there,
Wondered if someone could advise as not good with electrics! I have an expensive Xmas tree which is pre lit. It decided not to light up a few days ago and not really sure what the problem is. I thought it may be the power/ transformer plug but can't seem to find a replacement...
This Candy CCE16/2X kitchen extractor hood fan is not working, the lights are still working but the fan itself is not. I know there’s a fair bit of grease on there as you can see but will that be the cause & are there any other things I can check myself to find out why?
DIY question: I tried to replace my kitchen can lights with LEDs. The old light fixtures were just two wires connected to a fixture. I removed the screw in connector on the new light fixture and connected the wires. The lights are also dimmable and on a 3-way switch so I bought a dimmable 3-way...
I have electric underfloor heating. The thermostat lights on but there's no heat felt via the floor.
The termostat is a Time Guard UFPT7.
What troubleshooting would you recommend to find the root cause?
The system is nearly 10 years old.

So i have 2 wires coming into a gang box. 1 is hot, the other is not powered because it is feeding the next device. Im trying to connect a gfci. I put the hot line in the outlet and it never powered on. What could the problem be?
Hi all,
As an electrically illiterate person I've found a lot of the posts on this forum helpful when fixing things round the house. I was hoping I might get some guidance on any next steps before calling someone in about our immersion heater.
Context: we recently switched to a smartmeter for...
HI Guys,
