  1. A few turn up on AliExpress but most don't ship to Thailand 😞 To be honest, with the price of a new cleaner is it really worth the hassle?? You could try Samsung themselves https://www.samsung.com/th/support/contact/
  2. What's actually wrong with the motor? Just brushes or ... If the worst comes to the worst there are places that will re-wind small motors for fairly nominal fees.
  3. @UWEB @lom You both seem to have a good grasp of the PEA/MEA regulations which appear to be being rather more rigorously enforced for domestic users than they have been in the past. Fancy starting a thread we can pin with references / links etc. so we don't have to keep repeating the same information? It will keep everything in one easy to find space too.
  4. It's a part of the installation tests both in the UK and Aus, the results are recorded on an installation report. It's also part of the UK EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) which is required before a landlord can rent out a dwelling. I assume Aus has a similar requirement. Of course, "normal" people just press the "Test" button if and when they remember. I've seen RCDs that actually fail to open when the button is pressed. If its mechanism is stuck due to lack of use it's not going to save you when you need it 😞
  5. I got up at sparrow-fart this morning and re-did that crimp. Now let's see if the sun decides to show its face. Currently cloudy and raining, typical 😞
  6. I bought a Mileseey TR256i thermal-imager, plugs into the USB on your phone. There are many similar units around with comparable features, I had a 13% voucher for this one First experiments were encouraging: - The technology proves what doggo owners have known for years; our best friends have cold noses. Chihuahuas also use their ears as radiators. To more mundane things. This is our 300A shunt carrying 150A. The right-hand lug looks a little warm, certainly warmer than the other. Could be a bad crimp, I shall re-make in the morning and we shall see how much difference it makes.
  7. I'm assuming (never wise I know) that they are using the "twice a year" definition of bi-annual.
  8. Open it up and have a look, or assume it doesn't and use your own. 12V "automotive" relays are cheap and more than up to the task in hand 🙂
  9. Rather than discussing individual lifestyle (temperature) choices why don't we get back on-topic? Which was: - "Why do my windows look like THIS, during the Humid Season in Thailand?" Our OP now knows why, so now he needs a solution.
  10. Just remember that to assume makes an ass out of u and me We have our bedroom A/C set to 26C, 24C and I start to feel cold (Madam would already be rolled up in the duvet). For a working environment I have my office at about 24C, but for normal operations like now I'm just sat in the ambient air, in the shade with a fan. And no, the sweat isn't pouring off me and trying to emulate your windows.
  11. My Bold Here's your problem. Cold glass is going to cause condensation to form. How to fix? Double-glazing (possibly secondary glazing just on windows most critical). Get rid of your pet Polar Bear and run the A/C rather less chilly. EDIT The following is advice to stop condensation on your bathroom mirror, could work for the windows. Take a bit of shaving cream on your finger and spread it over the surface of your bathroom mirror. (You can spray shaving foam directly onto the mirror surface). Wipe clean with a soft towel or microfiber cloth. This simple trick acts as an effective barrier against steam settling on the mirror surface.
  12. Even in The Pub personal attacks are not permitted (try it in a Glasgow boozer), some posts have wandered into the abyss! Let's keep it friendly and on-topic.
  13. It left a mark not unlike that used for checking that your rams were doing their job!! First seen by me in an episode of Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves - now being repeated on UK TV I believe. https://www.premier1supplies.com/sheep-guide/2012/10/breeding-tools-for-better-management/
