Know the home, know the fault

Properties around the centre retain many buildings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Older houses can have uneven floors, which affects how a fridge sits. If a fridge is not level, the door might not close properly, letting warm air in. Holiday lets experience varied usage, with appliances switched on and off between visits. Family homes, perhaps with children attending the large secondary school that serves the surrounding area, put a different strain on a fridge through constant door opening. When warm air enters a fridge, condensation forms and can freeze on the back wall. A build-up of ice insulates the cooling plate, forcing the compressor to run constantly to maintain the temperature. This constant running can lead to clicking sounds or new noises from the back. If the appliance is too warm or not cooling evenly, the thermostat might be failing to read the internal temperature correctly. Water pooling inside or leaking onto the floor usually points to a blocked defrost drain, where moisture cannot escape and overflows the interior channel. Worn door seals are another reason for temperature fluctuations and excess moisture. When visiting homes near St. Edmund's Church or further out, we look at fridges that are warm, too cold, noisy or leaking. Our visit involves checking for faulty lights, testing thermostats and inspecting door seals. We also investigate water pooling inside, ice building up on the back wall, or appliances that are running constantly. We repair electric appliances in your home, though we do not work on gas cookers or any gas appliance.
