Know the home, know the fault

The rapid expansion during the late twentieth century, driven by the nearby Devon Expressway, means many kitchens date from that period of growth. Recent conversions, like the historic paper mill becoming residential homes and shops, add modern layouts to the mix. In these varied kitchens, electric ovens are heavily relied upon, whether they are built-in models in newer extensions or freestanding cookers in older terraced properties. When an electric oven stops working, the fault is isolated to a few specific components. A unit that blows cold air while the fan spins points to a failed circular heating element at the back of the cavity. If the appliance trips the electrics, the cause is an element whose internal insulation has broken down, allowing electricity to earth. Uneven cooking or food burning on one side can be traced to a faulty thermostat failing to regulate the temperature, or a worn door seal letting heat escape. Broken hinges or shattered door glass also prevent the cavity from retaining heat properly. During a visit, we look at ovens that will not heat on certain functions, investigate tripping faults, and check thermostats, controls and clocks. We also inspect door hinges, seals and glass to find out why an appliance is losing heat. Please note we only repair electric and induction cooking appliances and do not work on gas cookers or gas hobs.
