About South Brent
The place and its homes
The village of South Brent sits on the southern edge of Dartmoor in the valley of the River Avon. It was originally a woollen and market centre with two annual fairs. Today, the surrounding parish includes the small hamlets of Aish, Harbourneford, Lutton, Brent Mill, and many scattered farmhouses. Some local properties are very old. On the south of the churchyard is the manor house, part of which is fifteenth century.
In homes like these
What that means for your appliances
In rural settings with dispersed farmhouses, kitchens are sometimes larger and can accommodate freestanding appliances like chest freezers or wide electric range cookers. Older properties with uneven floors can make levelling a washing machine difficult. An unlevel machine vibrates excessively during the spin cycle, which puts strain on the drum bearings and suspension legs. Modern homes might feature integrated dishwashers and fridge freezers hidden behind cabinet doors. When an integrated appliance develops a fault, the wooden fascia door has to be removed to access the machine for repair, whether it is a blocked dishwasher pump or a faulty fridge thermostat.
02What we look out for
What these homes mean for your appliances
01
Washing machine vibration on uneven floors
Older properties sometimes have uneven floors, making it difficult to level a washing machine. If the appliance rocks during a spin cycle, the excessive movement puts heavy strain on the suspension legs and drum bearings. A rumbling noise on the spin cycle indicates the bearings are failing.
02
Faulty heating elements in electric range cookers
Large farmhouse kitchens can accommodate a wide electric range cooker. When an electric oven stops heating but the fan still runs and the thermostat light comes on, the fan element has usually failed. The element needs replacing to restore the correct cooking temperature.
03
Drainage faults in integrated domestic dishwashers
Modern kitchens can feature integrated dishwashers fitted behind wooden cabinet doors. If a dishwasher stops mid-cycle and leaves a pool of water at the base, the drain pump might be blocked by food debris or broken glass. The wooden fascia must be removed to access the pump.

A loud rumbling noise during the spin cycle means the drum bearings are worn. This happens over time through general use, but unlevel floors in older properties can accelerate the wear by causing the machine to vibrate excessively. The worn bearings will need to be replaced.
Ice builds up when warm air enters the freezer compartment. This happens if the door seal is torn or if the door is left slightly open. In rural farmhouses where chest freezers are kept in unheated outbuildings, extreme temperature fluctuations can also affect the appliance thermostat.
