Any chance you could do a video focused around starting and setting up on your own as a sole trader. Any tips from experience you can give etc! Would be very helpful for many of us out there embarking on that journey
Brilliant little tip regarding the blue bung for the washer! I wish the kitchen fitters in our last new build property had watched this video rather than leaving us with a flooded kitchen 😢 cheers 🍻
Oh boy oh boy I’m so late to turn up on this. Just passed out from not sleeping over the weekend. Anyway I would’ve done exactly what u did instead of driving back and forth. That basket swap was an efficient move and it takes experience to think of that on the fly. Thanks Dan for another vid
Hey mate, don’t worry about the late reply. At least you got time to watch it. Hopefully you managed to catch up on your sleep. Thank you for your feedback on the video as always.♥️
I have had a few thermistors check OK out of circuit but go haywire in circuit I just do like you did and replace with a known good one now , in the past in a emergency I used the plastic cap of a 2 L carton of milk to cap off waste worked a treat keep one on the van now 😆
What an idea with the milk carton lid! Haha. I recon that’s a permanent fix rather than a temporary one 😂😂 yeh thermistors are a pain to diagnose correctly!
Under the sink i came across the same issue, i used a 2p coin and plumbers mait, it was only supposed to be a temporary fix but 2 years later its still there
Had one exactly the same last month resistance seemed ok, even had it in a cup of hot water and watched it respond, threw a new one on just to see and it was absolutely fine 🤷♂️
Had a hot water thermistor do the same on a Worcester a couple of weeks back, run tap, boiler was over heating getting up to 85 degrees really fast and cutting out, water was running Luke warm, thought it was the plate changed that, same problem, checked the thermistor had 12oo ohms -2o degrees, changed it anyway and the boiler was fine, run the old one under the hot tap and you could see the resistance go up with the heat. Baffling.
Top video mate, although that duotec it’s the Pcb the low voltage side is likely on the way out it’ll come back in at some point. Well hopefully not 🤞 so you were right
Defo new waste. The way you did it. 30-40 mins of your time has got to be worth more than a £6 waste. Or cut a marigold dishwasher glove and use it as a sealing washer around that black plastic ring and tighten the nut
@@Heatking yes mate, absolute game changer is your forever doing inch and quarter and inch and half. Even does 2 inch aswell, couple of rotations and its done
@@Heatking yes just stick to parts on the most common boiler you work on which I would say is the baxi range and the ideal I mainly work on the Worcester range so have invested in a range of parts fan gas valve stats etc electrodes I give the boilers a full strip down every 4 years which makes a bit more work
The NTC commonly runs out of range at the low end (or high temp, as temp increases resistance decreases) when removing and testing at room temperature they usually show up as in range. It’s hard to ever see them out of range under testing conditions. Our job would be easier if they just showed OL when knackered wouldn’t it 😂
That happened to me we moved house I do most of the DIY myself I plumber the washing machine in wouldn't drain called my mate who's a plumber straight away he said about the bung lol
