Know the home, know the fault

Torpoint began as a planned settlement in the eighteenth century and expanded as people working at the Devonport Dockyard moved across the tidal estuary to live. The local population increased again when the Royal Navy established its main training facility here. In these properties, freestanding electric cookers are a practical choice for preparing meals. Whether a cooker sits in an older property from the original planned layout or a newer house built during the town's expansion, a broken appliance disrupts daily routines. When a freestanding electric cooker stops working, the issue can lie in several different components. A main oven or grill that fails to heat up usually points to a blown heating element or a faulty thermostat. If the solid plates or ceramic zones on the hob remain cold when turned on, the energy regulator or the ring itself might have failed. Sometimes the appliance will trip the household electrics as soon as it is switched on, which happens when moisture gets into a heating element or a wire shorts out against the metal casing. Control knobs can also break, and door hinges can wear out, preventing the oven from holding its temperature. We travel to homes near HMS Raleigh and the surrounding streets to inspect these faults. During a visit, we look at oven and grill heating failures, hob rings or zones not heating, cookers that trip the electrics, and broken controls, switches or doors. We only repair electric and induction cooking appliances, so we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.
