Know the home, know the fault

Modbury experienced further decline when the railway network was built around it rather than through it. Despite this, a strong agricultural connection remained, with an active cattle market running until the mid twentieth century. Properties with rural roots sometimes feature larger kitchens where built-in electric ovens are installed alongside other units. An electric oven that fails to heat up usually has a blown element. If the fan is running but the air stays cold, the circular element surrounding the fan blade has likely failed. Uneven cooking or food burning on one side points to a faulty fan motor or a failing thermostat that cannot regulate the temperature correctly. Sometimes an oven will trip the electrics the moment it is turned on, which happens when the insulation inside a heating element breaks down and shorts to earth. Door hinges can also weaken over time, preventing the door from closing tight, while worn seals let heat escape and damage the surrounding kitchen cabinets. We travel out to homes in the town and surrounding rural spots like Little Modbury. During a visit, we look at ovens that will not heat or only work on certain functions, fan oven faults, and appliances that trip the power. We also inspect door hinges, seals, glass, faulty thermostats, controls and clocks. Please note we only repair electric and induction cooking appliances and do not work on gas cookers or gas hobs.
