Homes in Exeter

Know the home, know the fault

Exeter properties range from medieval, Tudor, and Georgian designs to the new town development of Cranbrook a few miles east of the boundary. With two university campuses bringing a large student population and domestic tourists visiting the area, washing machines in these homes work hard. A machine in a shared student house or a holiday let goes through more cycles than one in a standard domestic property, increasing wear on moving parts. The area sits on a river that widens into a flood plain and estuary, and while the city sits in the rain shadow of Dartmoor receiving less rainfall than other parts of the region, laundry still needs doing indoors during wet weather, placing extra demand on spin cycles. When a washing machine is used heavily, components will eventually fail. A drum that vibrates excessively or makes a loud rumbling noise on the spin cycle points to worn bearings or damaged suspension dampers. If a machine will not drain, the issue is usually a blockage in the pump filter or a failed drain pump motor. Heating faults, where the water remains cold, are caused by a blown wash heater element or a faulty temperature sensor. Leaks can develop from a degraded door seal, a split internal hose, or around the pump housing. A machine might also trip the electrics mid-cycle, which happens when water reaches an electrical component or an element shorts out. We travel to repair washing machines in places like Alphington. We diagnose machines that will not start, fill, spin, or drain in your home. During a visit, we look at door locks that will not engage or release, trace the source of leaks, and investigate error codes displayed on the control panel. We also repair washer dryers, tumble dryers, dishwashers, refrigeration, and electric cooking appliances, though we do not work on gas cookers or any gas appliance.
