Homes in Paignton

Know the home, know the fault

Properties in Paignton range from Victorian architecture around Church Street, Winner Street and Palace Avenue to modern holiday accommodation. A seaside settlement on the Tor Bay coast that expanded from a fishing village following the construction of an 1847 harbour, the area now supports a large number of family holiday lets and private residences. In these properties, fridge freezers are heavily relied upon to store fresh food and frozen goods. Integrated models are sometimes fitted behind cabinet doors in fitted kitchens, while larger freestanding or American-style units require adequate ventilation space around the cabinet to allow the condenser coils to release heat efficiently. When a fridge freezer develops a fault, it is usually due to a failure in the cooling or defrost system. A situation where the freezer remains cold but the fridge section grows warm points to a blockage in the air channels, a broken evaporator fan or a failed defrost heater allowing ice to restrict airflow. Frost and solid ice build-up inside the freezer compartment can stop the drawers from closing and insulate the cooling elements, forcing the compressor to run continuously. Water leaks inside the fridge or pooling onto the floor are typically caused by a blocked defrost drain tube. Noisy running might indicate a worn fan motor or a vibrating compressor, while faulty controls can prevent the appliance from regulating temperatures correctly. When visiting homes in places like Goodrington, we inspect the appliance in the kitchen or utility room. We look at integrated and American-style models, checking for issues such as a fridge that is warm while the freezer still works, frost and ice build-up, water leaks, noisy running and faulty controls. As a domestic appliance repair service, we work on electric appliances and do not repair gas cookers or any gas equipment.
