Know the home, know the fault
Properties in Paignton range from Victorian builds around Church Street, Winner Street and Palace Avenue to modern holiday accommodation. A freestanding electric cooker is a practical choice for many of these homes, especially where holidaymakers are cooking family meals. In a busy rental property or a permanent residence, the cooker sees heavy use across its hob, grill and oven sections. When a single appliance handles boiling, grilling and baking, a failure in any one part disrupts meal preparation.
Why electric cookers go wrong
What we look for
A freestanding cooker contains several separate heating systems housed in one unit. If the oven stops getting hot but the fan still turns, the main element has usually failed. When hob rings or zones stop heating, the issue might be a faulty energy regulator behind the control knob or a break in the heating coil itself. Grills that refuse to heat up are usually affected by damaged elements or burnt wiring connections. Sometimes, turning on a specific function will trip the household electrics, which points to an earth leak within that particular component. Door hinges can also weaken over time, leaving a gap that lets heat escape and ruins baking results.

When we visit
From your call to repaired
Our repair visits cover the whole area, from the older central streets out towards the Hookhills estate and neighbouring settlements like Galmpton. We look at the appliance in your kitchen, checking the switches, thermostats and heating elements to find the exact fault. Whether the issue is a dead ceramic zone, a grill that trips the power, or an oven door that will not close properly, we dismantle the necessary sections to test the internal components. Please note that we only work on electric and induction cooking appliances, so we cannot repair gas cookers or gas hobs.

Call 01752 922765This usually happens when the main oven element develops an earth fault. The internal insulation inside the heating element breaks down, allowing electricity to leak to the metal casing. The household consumer unit detects this leak and trips the circuit breaker. The faulty element needs to be removed and replaced.
A solid hotplate failing to heat is typically caused by a broken internal element ring or a faulty control switch. We test the switch to see if it is sending power to the hotplate. If the switch is working, the hotplate itself has likely failed and will require a replacement.
Yes, a door that hangs open or drops on one side usually has worn or broken hinges. The hinge receivers inside the cooker frame can also bend over time. We dismantle the door to inspect the mechanism and fit new hinges, which restores the seal and stops heat escaping.
