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...
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...
Hi All.
I am retrofitting seats into my Subaru Impreza, from a legacy. The new seats are electric and were working fine coming out of the doner car.
There was an existing unused wire under my seats so I connected that to the new seats. Its showing that there is 10v getting to the connection...
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.

I recently moved houses and the previous owner had a sunny boy sb-2000hf-30 inverter installed. The first green light is on but when I tap on the screen nothing happens.
On the manual it says that tapping/knocking on the screen should turn it on.
Anyone knows how this inverter works?
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,
I bought this motor and speed controller used and tried wiring as per the diagram on the side of the speed control unit but the motor will not turn on. I am running it at 220v, when plugged in I do see the green led light up. There is not much info on the internet. But I was able to...
Hi everyone,
UK btw.
Not a sparky, but have some idea of electrics from fiddling with guitar pedals and a-level physics!
Just wanted a bit of advice - we have a dual socket in the kitchen, one plug of which does not work for the kettle (2000w draw according to the base), but does for the...
Hey, newbie here.
I'm very experienced DIY, but just got into 3 phase motors this year. I bought several 3p motors at auction ranging from 0.5 to 5hp. Bought and configured a VFD to be able to test them, but mainly to run my lathe.
The VFD works fine on most of the motors. I've run across 2...
Hey there, I have a Honeywell TH3210D1004 thermostat that I've replaced with a Honeywell T2 thermostat. I'm not an electrician by any means but have had some experience changing out light fixtures and such, I've copied the wiring as best as I can tell and am not sure why the T2 isn't working...
Hi,
This is a DIY question (I am not electrical expert). I have an issue replacing a fan to a house I have just moved into. It didn't work when I moved in and looked old so purchased a new one. I have wired it up correctly (I think). I also have a live probe that beeps if wires are live. It...

Hi I have a swan stc7020w tumble dryer. It turns on but when I press start it just beeps and doesn’t do anything. Also it has leaked water underneath and had loads of water and gunk underneath the heat exchanger. I had bought it from a shop as a refurb with 30 days gaurentee and conveniently...
