Homes in South Brent

Know the home, know the fault

The parish of South Brent sits in a river valley on the edge of Dartmoor. Originally developing as a centre for wool and markets, the area now features a mix of housing. Properties range from scattered farmhouses in the rural surroundings to very old buildings, including a manor house with sections dating back to the fifteenth century. There are also modern developments, such as those near the newer primary school buildings. In historic or rural homes, utility space can sometimes be awkward or limited, making a combined washer dryer a highly practical choice to save room. Modern kitchens also benefit from having one machine tucked under the counter instead of two separate units. Because they perform two distinct jobs in a single cabinet, washer dryers endure a significant amount of wear. A machine might wash normally but stop drying, leaving clothes damp or running cycles that never seem to finish. This lack of heat usually points to a failed drying element, a blocked condenser chamber, or a tripped thermostat. On the washing side, faults include the drum not filling with water, failing to drain, or refusing to spin at the end of a wash. Leaks are another issue, sometimes caused by a rubber door seal that has degraded after being repeatedly exposed to both hot wash water and prolonged drying temperatures. When visiting a property near Palstone Park recreation ground to look at a faulty machine, we check both the washing and drying systems. We investigate drying faults where there is no heat, as well as washing faults like a failure to fill, drain or spin. We also trace leaks, examine door seals for tears, and read error codes to identify control faults. We repair domestic appliances in customers' homes. Cooking appliance repairs are electric and induction only, as we do not work on gas appliances.
