**Is your oven taking forever to cook dinner? 🍕**

If it still gets hot but doesn't seem *as hot as it should*, there could be more going on than an inaccurate dial.

A failing element, temperature sensor, thermostat, fan or damaged door seal can all affect how quickly and evenly an electric oven cooks.

We've put together a new guide covering the common symptoms, what you can safely check yourself and when it's worth calling an engineer:

Washing machine keeps tripping the electrics? ⚡

Don't just keep resetting the breaker and hoping for the best.

A washing machine that trips your RCD or circuit breaker can have an electrical fault caused by anything from the heating element or motor to damaged wiring or a leak reaching an electrical component.

We've put together a new guide explaining the common causes, what you can safely check yourself and when it's time to stop using the machine and call an engineer:

Is Your Washing Machine Taking Longer Than Usual?

If your washing machine suddenly seems to take much longer to finish a cycle, it doesn't always mean there's a serious fault.

Modern machines will often extend a cycle if they detect:

An unbalanced load
Water draining too slowly
A problem heating the water
Too much detergent creating excess foam

A quick check of the filter and avoiding overloading the drum can sometimes solve the problem.

If the issue keeps happening, it may be a sign that your washing machine needs professional attention before a small fault becomes a bigger one.

If you're in Colchester or the surrounding area, we're always happy to help.

Does your washing machine smell even after a wash?

A musty or damp smell does not always mean the machine needs replacing. It is often caused by detergent residue, trapped moisture or a build-up around the door seal.

Try these simple checks first:

✅ Clean around and underneath the rubber door seal
✅ Remove and wash the detergent drawer
✅ Check and clean the filter
✅ Run an empty hot maintenance wash
✅ Leave the door slightly open between washes

If the smell keeps coming back, or the machine is not draining properly, there may be a blockage or another fault that needs attention.

East Coast Appliances repairs washing machines across Colchester and the surrounding area.

☀️ Is your fridge freezer struggling to keep cool?

When the weather heats up, your fridge freezer has to work much harder than usual. If it's not keeping food as cold as it should, there are a few simple things you can check first:

✔ Make sure the vents inside aren't blocked by food
✔ Check the door seals are clean and closing properly
✔ Leave a little space around the appliance for good airflow
✔ Double-check the temperature settings haven't been knocked

If it's still not cooling properly, don't ignore it. Catching a fault early can often prevent a more expensive repair later and help avoid spoiled food.

Dishwasher Not Cleaning Properly?

One of the most common things we hear is:

"The dishwasher is running, but the dishes are still coming out dirty."

Before you replace it, try these quick checks:

✅ Clean the filter
✅ Check the spray arms for blockages
✅ Make sure the detergent dispenser is opening properly

If that doesn't solve it, the problem could be a faulty heating system, circulation pump or drainage issue.

We've helped many customers get their dishwasher working properly again for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
