Know the home, know the fault
Bere Alston is set in a rural environment bordered by woodland and fields on a peninsula between the rivers Tamar and Tavy. In rural and historic properties, kitchens can vary widely in size and layout, which influences how an electric oven is installed. Built-in single or double ovens might be fitted at eye level in tall cabinets or tucked under worktops, while freestanding electric cookers need adequate clearance for ventilation. When an electric oven develops a fault, it can disrupt meal preparation. A fan oven that stops heating but still circulates air usually has a failed circular element. If the oven heats unevenly or burns food on one side, the fan motor might be struggling to distribute the hot air properly. Ovens that trip the electrics when turned on are another issue, which happens when an element degrades and causes an earth fault. Door hinges can weaken over time, preventing the door from closing tightly, while worn rubber seals allow heat to escape, forcing the thermostat to work harder to maintain the set temperature. Faulty controls, clocks or thermostats can also leave an oven unable to heat on certain functions. Reaching the area involves navigating narrow country lanes and a narrow bridge. We repair electric ovens in customers' homes, looking at appliances that will not heat, heat unevenly or trip the power. During a visit near landmarks like The Edgcumbe Hotel, we inspect heating elements, fan motors, thermostats, controls, clocks, door hinges, seals and glass. We do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance. We also cover nearby towns such as Tavistock, Gunnislake and Yelverton.

Call 01752 922765This happens when a heating element degrades. The internal wire expands as it gets hot and touches the outer metal casing, creating an earth fault. The circuit breaker detects this and trips the power. We inspect the elements and wiring to locate the fault.
If the fan is spinning and the indicator light is on but there is no heat, the circular element surrounding the fan has likely failed. The oven will not reach temperature until this element is replaced. We look at ovens that will not heat or only heat on some functions.
A door that hangs open slightly or feels loose usually has worn or bent hinges. This allows heat to escape, which can damage the control knobs above and cause uneven cooking. We look at door hinges, seals and glass during our repair visits to resolve heat loss issues.
