Know the home, know the fault

Situated adjacent to the South Devon National Landscape, the town is said to have more listed buildings per head than any other town. This varied housing stock requires consideration when fitting or repairing built-in appliances. Older properties can have uneven floors or non-standard kitchen layouts, which might affect how an electric oven sits within its housing. A poorly seated oven can put strain on the door hinges over time, leading to heat escaping during cooking. When an electric oven stops heating, the issue is usually a failed element. In a fan oven, the circular element around the fan blade takes the brunt of the work and will eventually burn out, leaving the appliance blowing cold air. If the oven heats unevenly or burns food, a faulty thermostat is a likely culprit, as it fails to regulate the internal temperature correctly. Another issue is an appliance that trips the electrics. This happens when moisture gets into a damaged heating element or when internal wiring degrades, causing a short circuit. Door seals and glass also degrade, allowing heat to escape and forcing the elements to work harder. We look at ovens that will not heat or only heat on some functions, uneven cooking, fan oven faults, and appliances that trip the electrics. We also inspect door hinges, seals, glass, faulty thermostats, controls and clocks. We only work on electric and induction cooking appliances, so we do not repair gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.
