March 2025 Appliance Repair Tips & Guides

Welcome to our March archive! This month we covered everything from a sputtering stove element to a water heater that won’t heat up. Whether you’re looking for a quick fix or want to know how much a repair might cost, we’ve gathered the most useful advice in one place. Below is a quick rundown of what we wrote about and why it matters for your home.

Common Kitchen Appliance Issues

First up, the electric stove. If your burners heat unevenly, make strange noises, or won’t turn on at all, the element is probably the culprit. We explained how to spot a failing element, safely test it, and decide if you need a replacement. A short video shows the step‑by‑step process, so you won’t feel stuck.

Next, we broke down oven repair costs. Simple problems like a broken heating element can cost as little as £50, while complex electrical faults might run up to £200. Our guide helps you compare DIY fixes with professional rates, so you can pick the most budget‑friendly option.

Extractor fans also got attention. We discussed why fans wear out—dust, motor wear, and moisture are the usual suspects. Knowing the signs, like reduced airflow or odd noises, lets you act before the fan fails completely. For the handy homeowners, we added a DIY installation guide, covering tools, safety steps, and common pitfalls. If you’re unsure, we recommend calling a pro to avoid mold or ventilation problems.

Laundry and Water Heater Help

Dryers are another hot topic. A dryer that won’t start, won’t heat, or takes forever to dry usually points to a faulty thermostat, clogged vent, or worn drum belt. We listed quick checks and cheap fixes that can get your dryer humming again without a service call.

We also asked the big question: should you fix a 7‑year‑old washing machine? Our answer depends on repair costs versus the price of a new, energy‑efficient model. If the repair is under £100 and the machine still runs well, fixing is often worth it. Otherwise, upgrading can save you money on electricity and water.

Water heater woes were covered too. When hot water disappears, it’s often a tripped breaker or a broken thermostat. For a longer‑term solution, we explained the importance of the anode rod. Replacing it costs between £20 and £200 depending on DIY or professional service, and it can add years to your heater’s life.
