Appliance Repair Guides for October 2025
When your water heater, a household device that heats and stores water for showers, sinks, and cleaning stops working, you don’t need to panic. You just need to know where to look. Many people assume a broken water heater means a full replacement—but more often, it’s a tripped breaker, a faulty thermostat, or a worn-out heating element. The same goes for your refrigerator, a cooling appliance that keeps food fresh and prevents spoilage. If it’s not cooling, the first thing to check isn’t the compressor—it’s the door seal or the power supply. These aren’t just random tips. They’re the same steps our technicians take on every same-day repair job in Rugby.
It’s not just water heaters and fridges. If your oven, a kitchen appliance used for baking, roasting, and broiling food won’t heat up, it’s rarely the control board. More often, it’s a broken heating element you can replace yourself for under £50. And if you’ve noticed a crack in your electric hob, a glass or ceramic cooktop that uses electric coils to generate heat, you’re not alone. Moisture, impact, or even a heavy pot dropped on it can cause this—but you don’t always need a full replacement. We’ve seen hobs last another five years with a simple sealant and careful use.
What ties all these issues together? They’re all part of everyday home life. You don’t need to be a technician to fix them—you just need the right info.
