won't

The English modal verbs are a subset of the English auxiliary verbs used mostly to express modality (properties such as possibility, obligation, etc.). They can be distinguished from other verbs by their defectiveness (they do not have participle or infinitive forms) and by their neutralization (that they do not take the ending -(e)s in the third-person singular).
The principal English modal verbs are can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, and must. Certain other verbs are sometimes, but not always, classed as modals; these include ought, had better, and (in certain uses) dare and need. Verbs which share only some of the characteristics of the principal modals are sometimes called "quasi-modals", "semi-modals", or "pseudo-modals".

    Geberit 110.700 series won't flush on small flush button

    Hi, My aunt asked me to have a look at her Geberit cistern which recently has suddenly stopped flushing on the short flush button. Long flush works normally as far as I can tell. This is the flush mechanism (the label suggests PN 7074-98) , please excuse the mess: Took the whole thing...

    URGENT Grant Combi 70 MK2 won't fire

    I've fitted a completely new burner to a Grant Combi 70 and the motor will not run (so consequently the burner won't fire) despite there being live 230v power to the control box. I have read the wiring diagrams and even spoken to Grant themselves but I cannot get to the bottom of the problem so...

    Water inlet hose for washing machine won't fit

    Hi, Forgive my inexperience, I'm a first time buyer and unfamiliar with anything plumbing related. We had a washing machine delivered today and the supplier was unable to hook it up as the tap for the water inlet hose was so close to the wall that the wings on the connector on the inlet hose...

    Rayburn 400K won't maintain temperature

    Hi - Our Rayburn 400K mainly runs low as a heater as we have LPG cooker. Yesterday (Christmas Day) I turned the control up to 8. It heated until the Thermodial needle got into the Roast sector, then it cut out and did not kick in again until it had cooled off - useless for roasting tatties! I...

    Push button toilet won't flush properly

    Hello folks, Our push button toilet won't flush properly most of the time, if you push the button it makes a half-hearted attempt, but gives up; sometimes you have to push it quickly 3 or 4 times and it eventually flushes; occasionally it just won't do a proper flush and you have to leave it for...

    Kitchen sink plug won't stay open!

    Hi everyone, my kitchen sink plug won't stay open! It’s really frustrating. It’s held up by a little plastic hoop around the shaft, and friction is supposed to stop it closing. But it’s too easy to close – just running water will close it, and I have to hold it open all the time I want to empty...

    Radiator won't turn off

    Radiator is still getting hot even when the thermostat is set to zero. Turning the other valve does nothing. Both valves (the thermostat and the other one) are now turned as far clockwise as they will go and the radiator is still getting hot. Photos are below. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Worcester boiler condensate won't drain.

    Good afternoon all, I have a Worcester boiler installed recently. It was moved from the first floor to the loft. Existing 22mm condense pipe was extended to the loft. It looks like the old pipe has no slope and prevents air to get into the boiler condensate trap, preventing condensate to drain...
