Know the home, know the fault

Properties in this community range from historic houses in a settlement established during the twelfth century to modern spaces, such as the residential apartments created inside former railway workshop buildings. Situated in a river valley next to tidal waters, homes here rely on a variety of kitchen layouts. Whether an electric oven is fitted under a counter in a converted workshop or built into a tall cabinet in an older property near the salt marsh, it needs adequate ventilation to prevent the control panel electronics from overheating. When an electric oven fails to heat, the issue is usually a blown heating element. Fan oven elements can split or blister, which stops them producing heat even when the fan continues to spin and the indicator lights remain on. Uneven cooking is another issue, which points to a failing fan motor or a faulty thermostat struggling to regulate the temperature. If the appliance trips the electrics, it is usually because the insulation inside a heating element has broken down, allowing electrical current to leak to the earth casing. Worn door hinges or torn rubber seals will let heat escape, forcing the appliance to work harder to maintain the set temperature. We only repair electric and induction cooking appliances, so we do not work on gas cookers or gas hobs.
