Homes in Exeter

Know the home, know the fault

Properties in Exeter range from historic medieval, Tudor and Georgian architecture to modern developments like the new town of Cranbrook. The area also hosts a large student population across two university campuses, alongside domestic tourists visiting the South West. In shared student accommodation or holiday lets, a fridge works hard. The door is opened repeatedly throughout the day, forcing the compressor to run longer to maintain the set temperature. In older properties, uneven floors can sometimes mean a fridge is not sitting level, which affects how well the door seals close. When a fridge is not cooling evenly or feels too warm, the thermostat might be failing to read the internal temperature correctly. Ice building up on the back wall points to a blocked defrost drain or a damaged door seal letting warm room air inside, which then condenses and freezes. If water is pooling inside the cabinet or leaking onto the floor, the condensation channel is usually clogged with food debris. Constant running, clicking or new noises from the back of the appliance suggest the compressor is struggling, perhaps due to a buildup of dust on the condenser coils or a failing start relay. Faulty interior lights can also stay on when the door is shut, heating up the inside of the cabinet. Our domestic appliance repair business is based in Plymouth. We repair appliances in customers' homes. During a visit, we look at fridges that are warm, too cold, noisy or leaking. We inspect the appliance for faulty thermostats, torn door seals, blocked drains and electrical faults. While we fix washing machines, dishwashers and electric ovens, we do not work on gas cookers or any gas appliance.
