Homes in Looe

Know the home, know the fault

The housing stock along this part of the Cornish coast ranges from modern properties on the high ground to the north, to ancient fishermen's houses near the harbour where the original living quarters were built upstairs above ground floor storage areas. The local economy relies heavily on tourism, meaning a large portion of properties operate as holiday homes or guest houses. In these settings, a wine cooler is a practical addition for entertaining guests or storing drinks away from the main food fridge. When a chiller stops holding its temperature, it becomes useless for preserving wine or keeping beverages ready to serve. Wine chillers rely on steady airflow and precise sensors to maintain specific climates. A fault with the internal fan can stop cold air from circulating, leaving bottles at the top warmer than those at the bottom. Dual-zone models use separate controls to keep red and white wines at different temperatures, and a failure in a damper or sensor can cause one zone to fail while the other continues to work. Condensation or misting on the glass door points to a worn seal letting ambient air inside, forcing the compressor to run constantly. Control board faults can also cause the appliance to ignore the set temperature entirely. We travel to properties across the area, including the Hannafore estate, to repair appliances in the home. When inspecting a wine cooler, we look at why it is not holding the set temperature, investigate dual-zone models with one zone failing, check for the cause of condensation and misting on the door, and test for fan and control faults. Please note that we repair electric appliances only and do not work on gas cookers or any gas equipment.
