Know the home, know the fault

Residential properties built during the nineteenth century mining and industrial boom form a large part of the housing in this Tamar Valley settlement. When a single machine handles both washing and drying in these older homes, it works hard. A combined unit is useful for saving floor space in a kitchen or utility area, but it relies on a complex mix of water valves, heating elements and sensors operating close together. The transition from a wet wash cycle to a hot drying phase puts significant thermal and mechanical stress on the internal components over time. Faults can develop in either the washing or drying systems of the appliance. A machine might wash perfectly but leave clothes damp because the drying heater has failed or the condenser chamber is blocked with wet lint. Conversely, washing faults such as a failure to fill, drain or spin will prevent the drying cycle from starting at all. Leaks are another issue, originating from a degraded door seal or a split internal hose. Control boards can also register error codes if the sensors detect that the drum is not reaching the correct temperature or if water is not clearing fast enough during the cycle. Once at the property, we look at the specific symptoms the washer dryer is showing. We check the heating elements and thermostats for drying faults, inspect the pump and motor for washing issues, and examine the door seal and pipework for leaks. We also cover nearby towns like Callington, Tavistock and Bere Alston. We do not work on gas appliances, but we repair electric domestic machines.
