Homes in Yelverton

Know the home, know the fault

Properties on the south-western edge of Dartmoor range from nineteenth-century commuter homes to the opulent villas built during late Victorian and Edwardian times. The area south and west of the village centre roundabout features many of these grand houses. There are also several bed-and-breakfast businesses accommodating walkers and visitors to local National Trust sites. Storing bulk food supplies for guests or a large household requires reliable freezing equipment. Whether an upright model sits in a kitchen or a chest freezer operates in a utility space, a breakdown risks a significant loss of frozen goods. When a freezer stops maintaining the correct temperature, an alarm will sound or the compressor will run constantly to try and cool the cabinet. A unit that is not cold enough might have a failing thermostat, a faulty start relay, or a problem in the automatic defrost system. Heavy ice build-up is another issue that affects performance. When thick ice accumulates inside the cabinet, drawers start to stick and the internal fan can become blocked, restricting cold air circulation. This icing up is sometimes caused by damaged door seals letting warm room air enter the appliance. A split gasket prevents the door from closing flush against the frame. We repair appliances in customers' homes across the area, including properties near Roborough Rock. During a visit, we look at upright and chest freezers that are icing up or not freezing properly. We investigate the causes of temperature alarms, constant running, and cabinets that are simply not cold enough. We also examine heavy ice build-up, drawers that stick, and door seal faults. We also cover nearby towns like Tavistock and Bere Alston.
