The grumpy thread

In my experience, if the impellor won't turn with a screwdriver when everything has cooled down, it's dead. You used to be able to just replace the head (4 screws) but now they want you to buy their 'efficient' complete units which, of course, are more spendy. Selectrics are around £100 now I see, used to be £45 ish.

That may have been one of his troubleshooting things he did when I wasn't there... 😂 I hear him call out to come here and he had it running and showed me the precise level of smack to give it on the side so as to not crack the casing. Sounded bloody awful I'll give it that (sounded fine before it packed up but it was old. Wasn't replaced with the storage tank and boiler 11 years ago when we moved in anyway
