Know the home, know the fault

Properties around this south Cornwall port town sit near a large natural harbour at the entrance to a flooded valley. Settlement in Fowey predates the Norman invasion, with a local church originally founded in the seventh century. Today, tourism contributes heavily to the local economy and provides more than half the jobs. Because of this, many houses operate as holiday lets or secondary residences, including those owned by several entertainers. In a busy holiday rental, an electric oven faces heavy use from different guests. Unfamiliar users might force control knobs or leave the door open while checking food, which puts extra mechanical strain on the appliance over time. When an electric oven fails, it is usually down to a few specific components. If the appliance turns on but blows cold air, the circular fan element has likely failed. Uneven cooking or burnt food on one side of a tray points to a struggling fan motor that cannot circulate heat properly. Worn door hinges are another issue, preventing the door from closing tight. A loose seal lets heat escape, forcing the heating elements to stay on longer to maintain the set temperature. This constant running can overheat the internal wiring or the main thermostat, which might eventually cause the oven to trip the electrics. Faulty clocks can also leave the oven stuck on an automatic timer, stopping it from heating entirely. During a visit, we inspect ovens that will not heat, test faulty thermostats, and replace damaged door seals or broken glass. We also investigate appliances that trip the power or only heat on certain functions. All Appliance Care only works on electric and induction cooking appliances, so we do not repair gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas equipment.
