Homes in Newton Abbot

Know the home, know the fault

The housing stock in Newton Abbot reflects its history of rapid Victorian expansion as the home of the South Devon Railway locomotive works. Terraced streets built for railway workers sit alongside attractive villas created for wealthier residents, while newer developments around the outskirts, such as those at Hele Park, aim to add thousands of modern homes. In older terraces, kitchens might be compact, meaning a dishwasher is tucked tightly beneath the worktop. In larger villas or modern houses, freestanding machines are easily accommodated. Wherever the appliance is situated, it requires a level floor to function correctly, as an uneven base can lead to door alignment problems. When a dishwasher fails to drain, water is left standing in the base of the cabinet. This is sometimes caused by a blocked filter, a kinked waste hose behind the kitchen units, or a jammed drain pump. Poor cleaning results point to spray arm problems, where food debris blocks the nozzles and prevents water from circulating. If dishes are left wet at the end of a cycle, there may be a heating fault, which could involve a failed heating element. Leaks can occur if door seals become worn, while error codes and machines that will not start might indicate a problem with the control board or a faulty door interlock switch. During a visit, we look at draining faults, poor cleaning results, heating faults, leaks, error codes and machines that will not start. While we repair a wide range of electric domestic appliances, we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.
