Know the home, know the fault
The origins of Ashburton lie in an old farming settlement built around a stream, and today it serves as the largest settlement within the local national park. Domestic kitchens here sit right on the edge of Dartmoor, adjacent to a major road. With a large secondary school serving local students and a culinary academy established in the northern part of the town, freestanding electric cookers see heavy daily use preparing meals. A busy household relying on a single appliance for boiling, grilling and baking puts steady wear on heating elements, door hinges and control switches over the months and years. When a freestanding electric cooker develops a fault, the symptoms usually isolate to the hob, the grill or the main oven cavity. Solid hotplates or radiant ceramic zones can fail to heat up if the internal wire breaks or the corresponding energy regulator switch burns out behind the front control panel. Inside the main cavity, a circular fan element might split its outer casing, which trips the household electrics the moment the appliance is turned on. Grill elements can distort and drop from the roof, while door hinges lose their tension over time, letting heat escape and causing uneven baking results. During a repair visit, we look at oven and grill heating faults, hob rings or zones not heating, cookers that trip the electrics, and issues with controls, switches and doors. We work on electric and induction cooking appliances only, meaning we do not repair gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765This usually happens when an internal heating element develops a fault. The outer casing of an oven or grill element can split, exposing the live wire inside to the metal chassis. This creates a short circuit to earth, causing your consumer unit to trip. We look at cookers that trip the electrics to locate the exact component at fault.
A single ceramic zone failing to heat is typically caused by a broken element under the glass or a faulty control switch. The energy regulator behind the knob controls the power to the zone, and its internal contacts can burn out. We look at hob rings or zones not heating to find where the circuit has broken.
Slow cooking times usually point to a heating element that is failing or a door that is not sealing properly. If the door hinges lose their tension, heat escapes from the cavity, dropping the internal temperature. A faulty thermostat can also prevent the oven from reaching the correct heat level during a baking cycle.
