Hello everyone. I've bought a second hand Bosch series 6 (2 years old, minimal use). The first washing went without any fault during the cycle, but after the cycle fully finished (10 seconds later), the machine tripped the fuse box. I've removed back and top lid to check if any wired connection...
The CU box is called a 'compact' and although a decent size, when an RCBO is istalled, it will fit but there is not much room at the top and those RCBOs are taller at the top. Does anyone know of another make rather than Schneider, that fit, that maker shorter RCBOs?
Here is a picture of the ceiling box
In the kitchen we have recessed spotlights and there used to be a ceiling fan, and there is only 1 switch with a dimmer. We removed the fan and wanted to add a Bazz disk to sort of fit in with the spots. I opened it up, connected it in every possible...
Hi, The receptacle for our dishwasher is right behind the unit, which I don't think is allowed (I have read that the receptacle needs to be 'accessible'). I'm wondering if I can convert the current plastic box containing the receptacle into a junction box. My plan would be to use MC cable and a...

Any ideas what it is? And cab I just remove it...

I've been looking at the Wagobox, specifically the 221-4 box, and noticed that it is only classed as maintenance free if the current is 20A or less (derating factor applied to the 32A capacity of the Wago 221 Series 4 connectors) and has a tie-wrap fitted.
Do you know of any Wago maintenance...
Had sky Q for a while now and everything was fine.
Over xmas, some mornings i would have to reset the wifi connection on the box itself.... which means inputting the lengthy wifi password.

I am doing some rewiring within the large junction box used for my central heating and hot water controls, which requires me to make use of two additional cable entry points. Unfortunately, many years ago the original installer threw away the flexible brown strips that were used as strain relief...

New to the forum. Hopefully somebody can give me some advice on finding a very specific meter box for my house. A few weeks ago our house was vandalized and the vandals ripped our power meter out of the socket, breaking the meter box door in the process. The house was built in the 70s and as far...

We currently have 7 lights strings, each is fed from a 13A socket via a mechanical timer that sits between the plug and the socket. Each timer needs to...
@Dan
Well done on clearing up the problems infecting the forum. An all nighter doesn’t seem like fun.
I have two issues, I’ll post on two threads.
I don’t know if this was always the case, but the reply box on any thread is below a list of similar threads… This might be by design, but I...
