The Appliance Repair Men from S&D Ireland work out of Ormskirk and cover Litherland along with nearby Bootle, Netherton and Crosby. An electric oven does more work than almost any other appliance in the kitchen. So when it fails, family meals quickly turn into a juggling act. Our Litherland electric oven repair engineers focus on the true cause rather than guessing at parts.

When the oven trips the electrics

A trip switch that drops as soon as the oven heats up is one of the calls we take most often. In most cases, a heating element has broken down and leaks current to earth. However, damp wiring or a scorched terminal block can cause the same trip. Our engineer isolates the oven and tests each circuit with an insulation tester. That way we replace the faulty part and nothing else. Electrical Safety First explains why you should not keep resetting a tripping appliance in its guidance on electrical safety at home.

Fan noise and uneven baking

A grinding or squealing noise from the back of the oven usually means the fan motor bearings are wearing out. Meanwhile, cakes that rise on one side often point to a fan that runs too slowly. A failed circular element behind the rear panel also leaves the fan blowing cool air. Because these parts sit together, our engineer checks them all on the same visit.

Doors, hinges and glass

Ovens lose heat through tired door seals and dropped hinges. As a result, cooking times creep up and the front gets hot to the touch. We replace seals, hinges and inner door glass on most models. Once refitted, the door closes square and holds the heat as it should.
