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,
We have just moved into a new flat with the old Horstmann electronic 7 timer for our immersion boiler. We just moved from a flat with the exact same system and never had any issues. We have set the timer and the times for the off peak boiling and have had no hot water for 3 days. The boiler...
Hi All.

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...

Overall I have 6 runs of cable coming into the box. The outlet and fan work, but the light switch does not. Can anyone...
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...
When working on circuits do you isolate whole board or just the final circuits using MCBs ? Or is there any instances when the whole board has to be isolated even if you are working on few final circuits?
Thanks.
