Homes in Yelverton

Know the home, know the fault

Properties positioned on the south western boundary of Dartmoor vary from nineteenth-century terraces to the grand late Victorian and Edwardian villas built south and west of the village centre roundabout for early Plymouth commuters. There are also several bed-and-breakfast businesses accommodating walkers and tourists visiting local heritage sites. In larger opulent houses, kitchens have the floor space for wide American-style fridge freezers, while older terraced homes might rely on integrated models fitted behind cabinet doors to maximise room. For a guest house, a working appliance is essential for keeping breakfast ingredients fresh. When a fridge freezer develops a fault, it can affect just one compartment. A fridge might become warm while the freezer continues to freeze food, or the opposite can occur if cold air fails to circulate properly between the two sections. Frost and solid ice build-up inside the cabinet usually points to a failing defrost heater or a blocked drainage channel. If that drain blocks, water leaks can appear under the salad crisper drawers or pool onto the floor. Noisy running is another issue, sometimes caused by a failing fan motor struggling against ice, while faulty controls might stop the compressor from running at all. During a visit, we look at the cooling system components, thermostats and door seals to find out why the temperature is incorrect. Whether you have a freestanding unit leaking water, an integrated model with heavy ice build-up, or an American-style appliance with faulty controls, we dismantle the necessary sections to inspect the wiring and mechanical parts.
