Homes in Callington, and what they need
About Callington
The place and its homes
Situated in east Cornwall between Dartmoor to the east and Bodmin Moor to the west, this former agricultural market town is home to a population of about 5,983 people. During the 19th century, it was one of the most important mining areas in Great Britain. In these older buildings, kitchens are sometimes smaller, meaning washing machines and dishwashers are fitted into tight spaces under worktops. When appliances are pushed back into confined gaps, water inlet hoses can kink and drain pipes can be crushed.

What that means for your appliances
The area retains links to food production, with Ginsters buying potatoes and other vegetables from local farmers and suppliers. A Tesco supermarket also opened in 2010, employing 200 local people. Fridge freezers need adequate airflow around the condenser coils to maintain temperature, while tumble dryers require clear filters to prevent overheating. When a washing machine drum bearing wears out, it creates a loud rumbling noise during the spin cycle, regardless of the age or style of the house.
02What we look out for
What these homes mean for your appliances
01
Washing machine inlet hoses kinking in small kitchens
Older terraced houses sometimes have compact kitchens with limited depth under the worktops. If a washing machine is pushed back too far, the cold water fill hose can fold and restrict the water supply. This causes the machine to time out and display a fill error code.
02
Poor airflow around fridge freezer condenser coils
Fridge freezers extract heat from the cabinet and release it through coils at the back. If dust builds up on these coils or the appliance is installed without enough ventilation space, the compressor has to run longer. This increases energy use and can lead to cooling failures.
03
Electric oven fan elements failing to heat
When an electric oven blows cold air while the fan is running, the circular heating element has usually failed. The internal wire expands and contracts during heating cycles, eventually breaking. The fan continues to circulate air, but the oven will not reach the required cooking temperature.

Wooden floorboards flex more than solid concrete when a washing machine spins a heavy load. If the appliance feet are not completely level and locked tight, this natural movement causes the machine to vibrate heavily and move around.
Standing water usually indicates a blockage in the drainage system. Food debris can bypass the internal filters and clog the drain pump. Alternatively, the waste hose connecting the dishwasher to the sink plumbing might be blocked. Clearing the filters and checking the sink spigot resolves many drainage faults.
