Homes in Bodmin, and what they need
About Bodmin
The place and its homes
The extent of the civil parish corresponds fairly closely to that of the town, so is mostly urban in character. Older properties built long before modern domestic appliances existed sometimes have limited kitchen space. In these homes, washing machines and dishwashers are occasionally fitted into tight alcoves or under narrow counters, which requires care when pulling the machine out to check a faulty drain pump or a worn drive belt.
In homes like these
What that means for your appliances
The local population of about 16,909 people includes a mix of households. A new-build college on a site close to the Asda supermarket will eventually cater for 1,280 students, with 197 staff employed. Shared student housing puts heavy demand on washing machines and fridge freezers, which accelerates wear on door seals and hinges. Additionally, some areas of the town have high levels of deprivation, and the proportion of children in poverty is higher than the average for Cornwall. When household budgets are stretched, repairing a faulty electric oven or tumble dryer makes sense.
02What we look out for
What these homes mean for your appliances
01
Washing machine drainage and pump blockages
Older properties with compact kitchens sometimes require washing machines to be installed in tight spaces. If a machine fails to drain, the filter or drain pump might be blocked by coins or debris. Accessing these components in a confined space means carefully sliding the heavy appliance forward.
02
Replacing faulty electric oven heating elements
When an electric oven stops heating but the fan still runs, the main heating element has usually failed. Elements degrade over time through normal cooking cycles. Fitting a replacement involves disconnecting the appliance from the mains and removing the internal back panel to access the wiring.
03
Temperature fluctuations in domestic fridge freezers
Shared households generate significant laundry and kitchen usage. A fridge freezer that runs constantly or fails to maintain a cold temperature might have a damaged door seal letting warm air inside. It could also indicate a build-up of dust on the condenser coils at the rear.

With some areas experiencing high levels of deprivation, repairing an existing appliance is a practical way to manage household budgets. Replacing a snapped drive belt or a blocked pump is a standard procedure.
A new-build college close to the Asda supermarket will eventually cater for 1,280 students. In shared student housing, washing machines run multiple times a day. This heavy usage wears out motor carbon brushes and drum bearings faster, which eventually requires replacement to keep the machine spinning.
