Homes in Brixham

Know the home, know the fault

Properties in this coastal Devon town range from small terraced cottages built during or before the nineteenth century along narrow streets near the harbour, to mid-twentieth-century houses further inland. There is also modern residential housing built on a former holiday camp site. In older cottages, space for laundry appliances can be restricted, meaning washing machines are sometimes installed in tight recesses. Moving a heavy machine out for inspection in a confined space requires a methodical approach so the hoses are not stretched. In mid-century homes or modern builds, kitchens usually offer standard clearances, making access to the back of the appliance more straightforward. A washing machine that will not drain or spin is an issue that occurs across all property types. This happens when a blockage in the pump filter or the waste hose prevents water from leaving the drum. If the water cannot empty, the machine will not initiate its spin cycle and the door lock remains engaged. Leaks can develop from degraded door seals, loose internal hoses or a failing pump housing. When a drum becomes excessively noisy or vibrates heavily on a spin cycle, it points to worn suspension legs or failing drum bearings. Machines that trip the electrics or display error codes point to internal component failures, such as a faulty heating element. When visiting a property in areas such as Cowtown, we diagnose and repair washing machines in your home. Our visits cover the diagnosis of draining, spinning, filling and heating faults. We look at leaks from seals, hoses and the pump area, as well as door locks and doors that will not open or close. We also inspect machines that trip the electrics or show error codes, and investigate noisy drums and excessive vibration on spin.
