Homes in Newton Abbot

Know the home, know the fault

The housing stock in Newton Abbot ranges from terraced streets originally built for South Devon Railway locomotive works employees to attractive villas created for wealthier residents. Modern properties are also being added, with recent and planned developments on the outskirts aiming to bring thousands of new homes to areas like Hele Park and Wolborough Barton. In older terraces, a washing machine might be installed in a narrow kitchen, where restricted space makes moving the appliance difficult. In larger villas or modern builds, utility rooms are more typical, meaning the appliance is further from living spaces and a noisy spin cycle might go unnoticed until a fault develops. When a washing machine starts to fail, the symptoms depend on which internal component is struggling. A machine that will not drain or spin usually has a blockage in the pump area or a worn pump impeller. If the drum is noisy or vibrates excessively on a spin cycle, the motor brushes might be worn down, or the main drum bearings could be failing. Leaks tend to originate from degraded door seals, split internal hoses, or a loose filter housing. We also look at machines that trip the electrics or display error codes, which can point to a faulty heating element shorting out to earth. Sometimes the issue is a door that will not open or close because the mechanical latch or electronic interlock has snapped. During a visit, we diagnose draining, spinning, filling and heating faults directly in your home. We inspect the appliance for leaks from seals, hoses and the pump area, and check door locks if the machine will not start. Please note that while we repair electric domestic appliances, we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.
