Homes in Saltash

Know the home, know the fault

Housing around the Saltash area ranges from historic seventeenth century properties and listed cottages on Culver Road to the large Latchbrook estate built during the nineteen nineties and the more recently constructed Pillmere development. In older properties, space for utility appliances can be tight, making a combined washer dryer a highly practical choice. Even in newer housing, having a single machine to handle both washing and drying saves valuable floor space. However, combining two functions into one cabinet means the appliance works twice as hard as separate units, putting extra strain on the internal parts. Because these machines perform two distinct jobs in one drum, they rely on complex internal components that endure significant wear. Drying faults might mean clothes are still damp at the end of a cycle, the machine produces no heat, or cycles that never finish. These issues can stem from a blocked condenser chamber, a faulty fan, or a failed heater element. Washing faults include the drum not filling with water, failing to drain, or refusing to spin at the correct speed. Leaks and door seal problems also occur, alongside error codes and control faults that stop the appliance from functioning entirely. When visiting homes in areas like St Stephens, we dismantle the appliance to inspect both the washing and drying systems. We check the water inlet valves, drain pumps, and motor brushes for washing issues, while inspecting the condenser unit, thermostats, and heating elements for drying failures. We investigate everything from a torn door seal causing a puddle on the floor to a completely unresponsive control board.
