Appliance Repairs

As the only microwave oven repairer left in the area, I have experienced a substantial increase in repair requests. Recent repairs have included magnetron replacements, HV diode and HV capacitors failing with a run of waveguide covers being replaced. Cheap microwave ovens are of course available these days, however if you have a good quality brand or a combi oven, repair can still be a viable option.

 Listed below are some typical electric cooker repairs carried out in the Hastings area:
 
St Leonards on sea - Smeg main oven not heating -replaced faulty heating element - repair completed total cost £55
 
Belling cooker blowing main cooker circuit fuse. Traced fault to top oven/grill selecter switch, secondary fault with hob element regulator. Parts fitted, total repair cost £70
 
Fault reported by customer - AEG Oven not heating. Test showed that oven element was open circuit. Sameday repair cost £60.
 
St Leonards on sea - Neff Built in double oven, no heat in main oven. Fully expected a straightforward element replacement, however, although the element had 'blown' there was no supply voltage to the element. Further testing revealed the main oven thermostat had failed in the closed position causing not only the element to burn out but also caused the thermal cut out to operate. A more expensive repair than usual, but worth it to the customer when considering the £600+ for an equivelant replacement Neff oven.
 
St Leonards on Sea - Algor built in oven. Oven not heating, no lights visible. Traced fault to mains power cable - Mouse/rat had eaten through the sheath and neutral wire - A lucky rat!! Cable replaced total cost £35
 
Hastings - Whirlpool oven very slow to cook - traced fault to open circuit base element - replaced. Total cost £56

Listed below are some typical Tumble Dryer repairs carried out in the Hastings area:
 
The weather has definitely changed and Tumble dryer repairs are rolling in. The usual snapped belts, thermostat and element replacements being the most common repairs this month. Tip - ensure the filter and condenser on a condenser dryer remain clear as blockage invariably will cause the safety thermostat to fail. Also if the cycle is interrupted by opening the door to check the dryness of clothes, make sure the dryer is  advanced to the 10 min cool cycle at the end of the programme. Failure to do this is another reason for safety thermostats operating. 
 
March 2011 - Hotpoint condenser dryer not heating - multimeter test showed that one shot thermostat had operated - thermostat kit replaced total repair cost - £50 inc VAT
 
St Leonards on sea - Zanussi condenser dryer, drum not turning. Replaced snapped drive belt - repair completed - £47 Inc VAT
