Hello DIYers
I need some help reading the attached diagram.
The "Timer (60 minutes)" broke and I need to replace it.
First, for my theoretical understanding: the voltage between L1 and L2 is 240VAC. How is the timer able to connect to L1 and L2, while only one line goes into the Thermostat...
Hi ... I've made a silly mistake by not taking pics of wiring before starting a tumble dryer belt change. I hope someone can assist.
I changed the drum belt on my Indesit condenser dryer IDC8T3B, but the heater did not come on and I noticed a loose orange wire next to the controller. The drum...
I've been asked to provide hot water in a small kitchen, no room for a storage tank, any recommendations on under sink heaters? The largest demand will be a pot wash sink so it needs to be hot and reasonably quick.
Don’t know if anyone can help me. My car heater blower is getting no power until the car gets up to running temperature only then will it kick in. Once up to running temp it works great on all settings. I have changed relay, resistor and the motor but it’s still the same… any ideas?
SOMEONE HAS REMOVED THE SPADE CONNECTORS FROM THIS DIMPLEX PLX1250 PANEL HEATER, JUST NEED CLARITY ON WHERE THEY RE-CONNET TO ?
THE FLEX FROM FUSED OUTLET ISNT SHOWN IN PICTURE
THANKS

Hi there. I want to install a simple bathroom heater in my bathroom (this one: Wall fan Heater 7 DAY Timer PTC bathroom workshop electric wall mounted Remote | eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183692212680). I have an unswitched fused spur in the bathroom close to...
I'm installing a Rheem Retex-27 27kw electric water heater. While it's not required by the code where I am, I'd like to have a disconnect switch for it. It requires 3 40A double-pole breakers with obviously 2 wires for 240V coming from each, so total 6 gauge 8 wires plus ground coming to the...
Hi,
Obvously im not an electrician, but i can just replace this broken "fuse box" at this heater with insulated crimps instead or something similar, without blowing up the house? Not sure what the connection is in the broken one (see attached). Has this odd metal bit on the back of it. Any...
Hi,
I'm about to switch to an energy tariff whereby i think it would be better/cheaper to heat my water via my immersion heater and not my gas boiler.
I have a plain old switch attached and wanted to install a new WiFi-enabled switch or, failing that, a timer switch.
I've just opened up the...
hello all!
i have a dimplex aspen asp20 heater that isn't working properly!
the light, flame effect, and fan all works fine, but when the element (or both elements) is turned on, it cuts out after about ten to twenty seconds, and can't be switched on again until it is powered off for ten...
Hi,
I am in the process of setting up a diesel heater to warm our conservatory and need to provide 12v power to it. I have purchased a CCTV distribution box which essentially has a 30amp convertor wired to distribution board. My plan is to remove the distribution board and wire the power...
Hi.
I'm having an issue with an old style storage heater. A workman disconnected the storage heater to lay new flooring under it . For some reason the installer removed the wiring completely, rather than keep it wired in . He then re wired as originally done. . Since then the heater...
Hi, I have a new Dyno-Glo Garage Heater that I connected to the breaker, and it won't turn on. Multimeter reads 120V going at each node in the heater.
Breaker is a double-pole 30 Amp Stab-Lok, rated for 240V.
I'm not sure how to troubleshoot further, and I'm hoping for some direction, please.
Someone wants me to put a water heater(30 amps), range(40-50 amps) and dryer(30 amps) all on a single 60 amp circuit. I said that's a bad idea.
They have a 100 amp main panel and all these devices would total 100 amps minimum. I am hesitant to run all these off the 100 amp service even with...
Hi,
My flat uses an Economy 7 tariff. When I use the boost heater, it works fine. But the off-peak water heater doesn't heat up the water overnight. The bottom element on the tank connects the off-peak switch and I've tested there is no electricity in this wire during the night.
I'm not sure...
We are replacing our Economy7 hot water cylinder due to a leak that has two immersion heaters and an indirect coil from our multi-fuel stove. My plumber has only been able to find a cylinder with one immersion connection (plus the two 28mm indirect coil connections).
Is there a way to switch...
Hi all,
I have a Dimplex Quantum Storage Heater displaying the message "school lock". None of the buttons are working as a result. Any ideas how to rectify this?
Thanks!
I use my shed for pottery and it’s currently wired to have 2 sockets and a light switch (fused down from one of the sockets). Currently I draw less than 300 watts of power. As it’s getting cold I’d like to plug in a heater out there but my husband says it’s not a good idea as my shed isn’t...
Hi.
I've been asked to install a Dimplex qm150 storage heater for a customer. There is a suitable existing supply for the off peak element.
Someone has installed a switched fused spur to supply the boost functionality. This has been taken from a nearby socket circuit.
However the property has...
