Know the home, know the fault

Chudleigh is an ancient wool settlement positioned between Exeter and Newton Abbot, located in the Teign Valley near the edge of Dartmoor. In these varied properties, kitchens sometimes feature built-in or combination microwaves to keep worktops clear. When an integrated unit stops working, it is fixed into the cabinetry, making a repair in the home far more practical than trying to extract the heavy appliance. A microwave that runs but fails to heat food is a standard fault. This happens when high voltage components, such as the magnetron or the high voltage capacitor, stop functioning. Combination models use standard heating elements alongside microwave technology, and these elements can burn out over time just like those in a standard oven. Another issue is a turntable that refuses to rotate, which is usually caused by a faulty synchronous motor under the floor of the cavity. Door latches and microswitches also wear out with use. If the door switches fail to register that the door is closed, the control board will prevent the appliance from starting. We travel out to homes in the area, including places like Chudleigh Knighton, to repair domestic appliances. During a visit, we look at built-in and combination models that will not heat or turn. We check door latches, switch faults, controls, displays, and turntables to find out why the appliance is failing. We focus entirely on electric appliances and do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance at all.
