  1. One of my fans [app 2 years old] has stopped working.

    Is it worth getting it repaired and are their any places in Pattaya that do this?

    I think I saw one place a long time ago that advertised [ cannot remember where.].

  2. 19 years ago I called P.K.Air to check my air con as I had just moved into my house. .He came with another guy ,Said there is nothing wrong .

    .I asked 'How Much' he said 'No charge'..

    I gave him 200 baht for his time and journey [ 6-7 kilos.]

    I have used him ever since...He and his wife speak excellent English.

    You mean something like this? The ones I bought previously are no longer listed and, looking at how they have worded the listing here, I'm thinking Lazada might have restricted sales.

    EDIT: Searching further, it seems like after the most recent mall shooting, Lazada and the like have removed most things Airsoft - because of course it was an Airsoft gun that was used... not: 

     

    Thanks woof.....Not what I am looking for.

    what I am looking for are round metal gas containers app 3 inches long and half inch across. They are needed to fire the small plastic pellets in an airsoft gun.

    The electrician I used had undergone just that, including day release at a local college. He was worse than useless and has left my wiring in a very dangerous state.

    I have heard similar stories...

     

  7. Does anyone know a first class electrician in Pattaya/Nongprue?

    Someone who can run a western style earth in a house..

    My nephew in England is an electrician so I can send photos of what is being done to verify good work.

    Hoping there is someone out there [ or here] who can recommend a good man

    By fridge/freezer I assume he is talking about a domestic fridge that incorporates a freezer at the top, bottom if drawer style or side by side as opposed to a separate domestic fridge and a separate freezer. most fridge/freezers are all generally "frost free" unless quit old or comparatively small. In nearly all cases the compressor is located at the back at the base of the fridge.

    Many of these fridge/freezers incorporate fans to circulate the cold air and most have an aircooled condenser (like small car radiator) located near the compressor to remove the heat absorbed from the cooling coils (evaporators) plus the heat of compression caused by the circulating compressor. The fan draws air through the condenser and discharges it from the bottom of the fridge and therefore needs a space at the back from the wall (approx 75mm) and preferably at least 50mm gap around the top and sides to disipate the hot air and prevent overheating. Overtime lint builds up on the condenser coil and fan blades and reduces the airflow causing overheating. If the gap is sufficient, turn off the fridge check for dust/lint and gently clean the fan and condenserwith a soft brush and then vacuum. Restart the fridge.

    NB after turning off fridge wait 20 minutes before restarting to prevent damage to the compressor motor unless you know the fridge has an auto start delay.

    Thanks Hugh

  9. Thanks to everyone for your comments...This is an L.G. fridge freezer..I have had many fridhes and 2 still in the house.... This L.G [ no frost] got really hot  almost too hot to touch...Homepro gave me the number to call the 'L.G. 'specialists' to check my fridge..Their call out fee is/was 700 baht yes 700   .they came with some kind of thermometer and said there is nothing wrong with the compressor or anything...It is open back at the bottom and the compressor is usually very hot.I have installed a small fan at the rear to blow air on the compressor when it is too hot..I would never buy another L.G.

    The heat a fridge removes to make the compartment cold has to go somewhere.  Since fridges don't have outside fan units like AC units do, the heat is usually dissipated by coils located behind the back panel.  Sometimes the sides will get hot as well.  Perfectly normal.

    Thanks P.F.. . will check the fan.

    Opinions are like A****. everyone has one. In all the years I lived in Thailand since 2002 to 2019 this consisted of several breaks back to the uk to live. I lived the dream of island life as a diving instructor, Bangkok and village life and I noticed people go through different stages of loving Thailand and as the rose coloured glasses slip to hating thailand, then they leave. The ones who invested far to much become trapped they become very twisted attacking anyone who dares to shine a light on their rose coloured life. We still have a house in Thailand,  obviously family and friends but our life in the uk is far, far better on many levels. Our children have far more opportunities, my wife has good friends, job she loves and holidays in the uk she enjoys and me I have my garden, social and friends. Yes best move ever. Thailand is for the obligation holiday to see our house and family/friends. Note, I'm no ponce and never been called one to my face only by KBW.

    you obviously do not live in North London.
