Homes in Kingsbridge

Know the home, know the fault

Properties around the centre of Kingsbridge retain many buildings from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, while the wider area serves as a popular tourist destination. In holiday accommodation or busy family homes with children attending the large local secondary school, built-in and combination microwaves see heavy daily use. A combination microwave acts as a second oven for many households, meaning a breakdown disrupts meal preparation. When a built-in unit stops working, it cannot simply be swapped out like a freestanding model, requiring a repair in place. When a microwave runs but fails to heat food, the fault usually lies within the high-voltage circuit. A failed magnetron, diode or capacitor will stop the appliance generating microwaves, even though the internal lights and cooling fan still operate. Turntables that refuse to rotate are another issue, typically caused by a faulty synchronous motor beneath the cavity floor or a broken drive coupling. Door latches and microswitches also wear out over time. If the door hooks do not engage the switches correctly, the control board will not allow the unit to start. On combination models, the heating elements or convection fans can fail independently of the microwave function. Whether a property is near the estuary or further out towards Chillington, we repair built-in and combination microwaves directly in the kitchen. We check units that will not heat, test turntables that have stopped moving, and inspect door switches and control displays. Our focus is strictly on electric cooking appliances, so we do not work on gas equipment. We also travel to nearby places like Salcombe, Modbury and Totnes to fix domestic appliances.
