Know the home, know the fault

The housing stock in Newton Abbot reflects its history of rapid Victorian expansion, driven by the South Devon Railway locomotive works. Older properties include terraced streets originally built for railway workers, alongside attractive villas created for wealthier residents. Fitting an electric range cooker depends heavily on the available space. In a narrow Victorian terrace, these large appliances are sometimes positioned tightly between cabinets, making them difficult to pull out. In larger villas or modern builds, there is usually more room to access the back of the cooker where the main wiring connections sit. When an electric range cooker develops a fault, the issue might be isolated to one section while the rest of the appliance continues to work. A main or secondary oven that stops heating is a typical problem, usually pointing to a failed fan oven element or a faulty thermostat. If the appliance trips the electrics, the cause is generally a breakdown in the insulation around an element. Grill and hob faults range from an induction zone that refuses to heat to a grill element that has visibly blistered. Control issues, such as a clock timer that will not set, can prevent the main oven from operating entirely. During a visit, we look at electric range cookers with oven, grill or hob faults, repairing them directly in your home. We inspect main or secondary ovens not heating, investigate grill and hob faults, and test controls, fans and thermostats. If a range cooker trips the electrics, we trace the wiring to find the short circuit. We only work on electric and induction cooking appliances, meaning we do not repair gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.
