How to make a picture frame / Picture frame DIY
Thank you. This video has saved me 175.00 pounds!!
Brilliant! Glad it helped
Great info mate but doesnt seem to fit my query. Im in the middle of having a kitchen fitted and the tap is brand new. Its not the same tap as yours but similar in principle. Ive removed the tap and the water is coming out where the valve and turny bit meets. It looks like its kept in place with a split pin. Any thoughts, much obliged.
Without seeing it I can’t really advise. Only thing I would say if it’s brand new take it back to where you bought it and get it replaced.
Salute the handyman, we all know one 😊
😅
How do I know if my fuse needs replacement ?
If the thing the plug is attached to isn’t working and you replace the fuse and it then works… you know it was the fuse. If you replace it and it’s still doesn’t work then it’s likely to be something else.
how about the fuse got busted and the plug is a bit burnt? Will it work if I just replace it with a new fuse and plug it again?
It will work but something has caused that fuse to blow that needs investigating further. The evidence of the damage to the plug itself suggests something is wrong with the appliance and it should probably be looked at by a professional.
@@fix-make that was a fast response thank you. You deserve a sub 👍
@FakeBlipTV thank you!
How do you know if it's the hot or cold tap that is leaking?
Thank you Sir. With your help, All done!
No worries, glad it got the job done!
Very clear
What fuse voltage should be used?
Thanks
Great well presented video! Just as an over thought - how to identify which tap is dripping as both use the same outlet pipe? Thanks again 🙂
The pipes coming in underneath should be hot or cold to the touch when the tap is running
That fuse name?
In the UK its 13 Amp
What about changing the valves in a 3 in 1 hot water tap?
I am afraid I've never had to tackle one of those, but someone on here will know.
Thanks, that was easier than I thought!
No problem, glad it helped!
If it is a mixer tap, how do you tell whether it is the hot or cold feed that is dripping?!!
You need to turn off one of the feeds at a time, under your sink, then run the tap, that way you find out which one is leaking.
Thank you thought I was being an idiot with how I was trying to take it out
Great information for this type of tap
Cool, glad it was useful
Can any type of fuse be used? Even if it’s a lower grade than the one originally
Use the same fuse grade as the one you found in the plug, don’t go lower.
How do you know if it's the hot or cold tap valve thats the issue?
Hi I need to fix a dripping tap identical to this what are the replacement cartridges called what model no etc
There should be a link in the video description to Amazon for the correct valve.
Very helpful. It took two doses of different descalers and a ring spanner to get the valve to budge. I went to a plumber's merchant who had a box full of different types and we found the nearest fit. Works fine.
Thats great, well done, glad the video gave you the confidence to do that 👍
How do you know the size of the valve / cartridge to buy
There should be a technical drawing of the valve you buy online, check yours against it before you buy.
Well done thanks sir
Thank you!
Don’t faucet 🤣🤣
Lol
Brilliant thank you :-) 👏
No worries, glad it helped!
Excellent video. Thank you :)
No problem, hope it helped!
My handles won't unscrew, they don't seem to be screw types, and there's no other obvious way they come off, almost as if they're one single piece with the tap... any clues?!
I am afraid not, probably time to call a plumber.
My tap is very similar but I don't seem to be able to get the handle off. It comes apart in the same way but I can't find anywhere to put an allen key or a screwdriver
Hmm, thats tricky without being able to see it, does it just unscrew?
Great help. Thank you very much👍
No worries 👍
Sadly looks like I'll have to get a plumber in anyway, as the cartridges on my tap aren't budging.
Sometimes that is the best option.
how to tell if it has blown?
The appliance will have stopped working. Replace it and your appliance should work again.
There might be another reason for the appliance to be not working, only a short circuit triggers a fuse blow. @@fix-make
use a multi meter
Well done mate. simple clear and to the point. I was on the verge of spending £200 to replace my leaking mixer tap. I then watched your video, and thought that's my issue and I can do that. Removed the valve then located the correct replacement as there are several variations in size. I then put it all back together as per your video, and Now have a non leaking tap. Top Man.....
A pleasure to be of service 😀
Thanks was useful to confirm this as old school plugs have the screws.
Really useful video - thanks! Note, knowing which replacement valve to get can be hard as there are slight variations available (Screwfix have about 4) even if it is a bit longer or shorter than your current one it will still work.
now THAT is a precision piece of information that I needed. Simple clear and now gives me the confidence to do the job. [as an electronics engineer, I have no fear of electrics jobs, but water scares me!]
Any tips to get the handle off? Mine are too tight to unscrew by hand
You could try monkey grips, but make sure you protect the tap with something... maybe a bit of bike inner tube? So it doesn't scratch the tap/ faucet.
Great advice which has worked! However, my mixer tap is slightly different to yours… I have got the taps off with the Allen key but this hasn’t revealed the hexagonal nut, the nut sits inside of the main unit so I am unable to get my adjustable spanner in there. Any thoughts?
@@user-ub4wf6pk2p you could try a socket set instead?
simply brilliant.
Thank you!
Good video. How did you unscrew the handle?
My handle was fairly loose already
Excellent information in a short and smart way. Thank you so much.
Glad you found it useful!
Thank you! However the brass valve wont budge. WD40 and wait a while me thinks
WD40 should do it and or some descaler should help loosen it.
Hello my fuse holder is missing for my tumble dryer. Where can I buy a new one?
If the fuse holder is missing you'll need to put a new plug on your tumble dryer. Be careful though as dryers pull alot of current. Might be best to get an electrician to do it.
Great video. Is the left hand one (hot) a left hand thread...mines not budging at all.
The hot one will be the same screw thread as the cold. But the hot one will be more affected by the water... so probably needs descaling.
I have one issue. I am struggling to pull the cover out and can’t reach the cartridge. What shall do? Thank you.
Not all taps are made the same, maybe a little WD40 will help work them out.... just be gentle. The water deposits can make things clog up.
How do u know it the valve needs replacement and not just a washer. With out taking apart if you don't know
Well, try replacing the washer first, its alot cheaper.
Can't afford pay for washers then have to go buy hole bit . Just to help a friend out
I can't get to the Allen key. The handle is permanently attached. There is the end cap but this seems well glued in too. Good vid though. Thanks.
Very good clip, extremely helpful.
Thanks!
No problem, glad it helped
My kitchen mixer tap broke today. The hot side won't stop running even when you turn it off and the only way to stop it is turn it off at the mains. Is it a broken cartridge or do you think I need a whole new tap?
Sounds like there isn't an isolation valve under the sink? If not you should probably get one fitted whilst you have the mains off. A new valve cartridge should sort it though.
Thanks very much for the demo.
Won't undo time to call the expert😢
Sometimes that's the best solution.
