I cant get the front panel off, any advice? Taken all the screws out of the top, but only that flat lifts, can't get the front panel to budge. Any advice?
Had the same issue, but I took out the side screws as well and the whole unit came out. Eventually I reattached the side screws and pulled directly out from the wall, and it worked. You want to remove the three screws on top, then pull towards you, not up.
Quick question. Can I connect a double socket with T&E and put a plug on the end of the T&E and plug it into a separate socket. So basically making the double socket an extension lead
Hi, I have a problem with DC Dimplex Night Storage heater, Model QM100. The problem is The Boost option can produce heat, but normal setting like Home All Day, User Timer, did not produce heat. Long story short: After the installation the heater worked well, my setup is Home All Day which divided into 4 periods. 1. 00.00 - 06.00 at 27C 2. 18.00-19.00 at 25C 3. 19.01-21.00 at 25C 4. 21.01-23.59 at 27C Those setup worked perfectly several days until one day, I turn on the heater by pressing Advance button at 15.00 - 17.00 (which was outside Home All Day setting). Then after off, the machine on again at 18.00 (as it followed automatic setup), but until morning, there was no heat come out. I thought it was because the heater lost its heat and somehow could not charge or input during that overnight. So, the following day, I set up 4 period which was from 00.00 - 00.05 at only 15C (because I thought by setting this way, the heater lost very little heat and input maximally). But the following day, the heater did not produce heat. What I am wondering is, through the Boost button, indeed the heater produced heat, but through Home All Day setting and User Timer, the heater did not produce heat at all.
Thank you. The live and neutral were opposite to the one I removed from the wall. I'm so glad you mentioned that this might happen (7.08 in the video). Now I am quite confident in replacing the unit. Thanks too for talking about the different colours, depending on when the house was built / wired (2006). That was extremely helpful. I'll just watch your video again, to be sure.
That's completely wrong the max is 5. If you put in a bigger mcb than 20amps on a 2.5 cable if the load is higher than 20amps it will work but the cable will heat up like an element because mcb is too big for a 2.5 cable and it 100% will cause a fire. Don't take any advice from this guy he has no idea what he is talking about. I know he's not a qualified electrician by how short he cut the cable no electrician would do that. And that is not the correct way to terminate the connections it's much more likely it will cause a loose connection in the future. Loose connections are the cause of 90% of all electrical fires in ireland. Our regulations are the same as the UK
Those conductor wires are way too short. Conductor wires that are too short can cause them to come loose a lot more easily. Plus if anyone had to do future work it's good practice to leave enough length for them to cut back if they needed to.
What if you dont have an earth? I have a two socket and 4 wires and what messed up is all the wires are red. The electrical wire coloring in this house was done badly. And im trying to switch it out to a double universal. Both socket was wired with like a bridge from left to right with the original setting. So I dont know if it will work if i remove that bridge conection. I have 2 Nuetral holes on the top and 2 Live holes on the botom so they are parallel to eacother. Plus only one wire can fit per hole, not two.
Hi .. Thank you. I just successfully wired up my daughter's plug socket and it now works. I followed your video step by step and it was great. Many thanks. 😁
I hadn't expected to learn so much. Lots of great tips. I suppose the only thing missing is to remember to not deal with live wires. But if people didn't realise this by now, they'd probably not be around to watch your video. Great stuff!
If it's on a ring main then it will have two cables connected to it; each cable going to the adjacent sockets in the ring. If it's only a single cable then it most likely is on a spur. I'm not an electrician so open to being corrected, but think I'm right in this
Those cable are too short, if that outlet had to be replace with a different connection position. The guy replacing it is gonna look silly because the cables don't reach. I wish I had a pound for how often that's happened to me.
