Appledore is a charming North Devon coastal village steeped in shipbuilding tradition, where narrow lanes wind between 18th and 19th-century fishermen's cottages and elegant Georgian houses overlooking Bideford Bay. The village features a mix of period terraced properties, many now converted into holiday lets, alongside modern housing developments that have expanded Appledore inland from its historic quayside core. Located just across the estuary from Instow and within easy reach of Bideford, Appledore maintains its distinctive maritime character while serving as both a working fishing port and popular tourist destination.
In Appledore's coastal location, we frequently encounter washing machines affected by salt air corrosion and higher humidity levels that can impact electrical components and door seals. The village's older properties often have hard water issues that lead to limescale buildup in heating elements and pumps, requiring specialist cleaning and component replacement.
For Appledore residents, repairing a washing machine is often the most practical choice, especially given the village's narrow streets that can make appliance deliveries challenging. With repair costs typically 60-70% less than replacement, fixing your existing machine makes particular sense in this close-knit community where sustainable choices are increasingly valued.
“Really easy process. Described the fault, got contacted by two engineers the same day, chose the better-priced one. Turned out to be the carbon brushes — sorted in under an hour.”
“Good experience overall. Took about 3 hours to hear back but the engineer who came was excellent — knew exactly what the fault was from my description before he even looked at it.”
“Got 3 quotes within an hour. Engineer came next morning, fixed the drum bearing and it's been perfect ever since. Would have cost me £400 for a new machine — paid £140 for the repair.”
