I've installed a replacement bathroom extractor fan. Pic on the left is the old one. Pic on right is the new one. Wired the same way but the fan won't work when the bathroom lights are switched on. But if I put a multi meter on the Switched Live & Live terminals, it starts working. Is the fan...
As a young man, I was an electrician, but now I'm getting on, I am strictly DIY.
I used to have a cheap old 900W petrol generator connected to a dedicated twin socket which I used to run my gas central heating boiler (plus essential TV) in the event of a power failure. It worked fine, but...
I Left the batteries in for an extended time and they corroded the terminals. I tried sanding them clean but it still won't turn on. Any suggestions for troubleshooting it before I tear it apart? Thanks.
Hi,
I was having trouble connecting the bluetooth on my mirror so reset as per the manual by turning off at the fusebox.
After turning it back on, there is no longer any power to the lights on the mirror, however, the charging socket still works.
What could this be and how can this be...
I have a light that stopped working. I thought it was the tube as it had blackened at each end. Got a replacement and the light still does not work. Is the ballast the circuit board pictured? If it is bad how is it replaced and with what? It is a beer light that I would like to get working...
Any help or advice. I'm not able to trip my gfci with my plug in tester. IfI push the test button the gcfi will trip but the red light won't turn on. I'm able to reset the gfci with the reset button. The other outlets on this series can be tripped with my plug in tester except for one outlet...
I have a fluorescent desk lamp that recently developed a problem: it will turn on first thing in the AM, but by the time I've gone to make my coffee and return it is off. If I switch it off and wait 10 minutes, it will often come back on but this cycle may need to be repeated a few times before...
Hi everyone,
After much swearing and cursing (I hope the neighbours didn't hear) I've come online for some help.
We have a dimmer switch in the kitchen and my wife wanted a simple on/off switch instead. Obviously, I switched off the circuit for downstairs. Then, I unscrewed it and took a photo...
I've purchased Lepro 15m LED strip lights - product code PR410047-RGB-UK, and have fitted them at the top of the walls in my daughter's bedroom, where the walls meet the ceiling. Although listed as 15m long, they are actually two strips of 7.5m each, running in parallel adjacent to each other...

A few days ago we had a brownout and an existing Caseta switch started smelling burnt and its lights wouldn't turn on so I figured it needed replacing. I purchased the exact same model ( PD-6WCL-WH-R-C ) and installed it just as the old one. However, the ceiling lights don't come on and neither...

Hello!
I was wondering if some clever person could help me work out what's wrong with my washing machine?
When I try to start a cycle, the machine makes several clunk and beeping sounds and flashes the red lock symbol. I've had a repairman from hotpoint come round, he changed the motor and I...
Hi all.

Hi all,
I have a 6 year old HBG73U150/45 oven from Bosch. The ventilation fan no longer stays on to exhaust the humid air inside from inside the chamber. In the worst case, water vapour seeps out the front and then the touch screen goes berserk -- won't stop beeping :(
I took the cover off and...
