Homes in Looe

Know the home, know the fault

Properties along the steep-sided river valley in Looe range from modern houses on the high ground to the north to older fishermen's homes where living quarters were built upstairs above ground-level storage. The local economy relies heavily on tourism, meaning many properties operate as holiday homes, guest houses and hotels. In a holiday let or a busy guest house kitchen, an electric oven works hard catering for different visitors week after week. Unfamiliar users might be heavy-handed with control knobs or leave the door open while checking food, which puts extra strain on hinges and seals. When an electric oven stops working as it should, the symptoms usually point to specific components. If the appliance will not heat at all or only works on certain settings, a failed element or a faulty selector switch is a likely cause. Uneven cooking in a fan oven typically happens when the circular element burns out or the fan motor seizes, leaving the cavity without proper air circulation. Ovens that trip the household electrics usually have an earth fault, which can occur when the insulation inside a heating element breaks down. Physical wear is also an issue, particularly with door hinges that lose their tension, torn rubber seals that let heat escape, or faulty thermostats that fail to regulate the temperature accurately. When we arrive to repair an electric oven, we look at the heating elements, thermostats, controls and clocks to find out why it is not heating or cooking unevenly. We also check door hinges, seals and glass, and trace the source of faults that trip the electrics. We repair electric and induction cooking appliances only and do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.
