eSpares Joins National Fix It Week

October 19, 2014 | DIY & Home Improvement | eSpares Updates | General Appliance Care & Advice | No comments

Have a look around your kitchen, how many appliances can you see? There will be your cooker, hob and cooker, no doubt a microwave too; not to mention a washing machine and in a large proportion of homes a tumble dryer too.

In your cupboards you may also have a blender, toaster and steamer. These are all from one room, when you consider the other appliances dotted around your home there will be a vast number. Now, imagine if you will for a moment that a couple of these appliances (the bigger ones such as your cooker and washing machine) stop working. Frustrating right? Not to mention costly.

As a child there’s a very good chance that you had a favourite superhero, some of the names branded around the eSpares office include Batman, Superman, Wolverine, and some of my favourites Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael – also known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who were trained by, of all things, a rat (Splinter). Over the last few years, each of those making the list below have had a film (or two) made about them, with the latest TMNT film set to hit the big screen in mid-October.

Self-Improvement: Fixing Faulty Household Appliances

October 7, 2014 | DIY & Home Improvement | General Appliance Care & Advice | No comments

Last month, September, was the month when in reality not a lot happens, schools return and the countdown for Christmas begins. With many of us looking to tighten the belts after the summer holiday and ahead of the festive period, more time is being spent within the home resulting in the “to-do” lists of work which needs to be carried around the home increasing, with tasks such as fixing faulty household appliances making up a large proportion of the list.Read more

I really like this video, the next in our long running ‘How a fridge works’ series. Matt really simplifies the refrigeration process. If you’ve ever wondered what exactly a refrigerant is or how exactly it can make the inside of your fridge cold, check this video out. So simple, but ever so clever as well.

Appliances, there are a lot of them. Appliance spares, there are even more of those. And when it comes to making videos showing you how to fit said spares in said appliances, we’ve really got our work cut out for us. While we’re very proud of the depth and breadth of our videos on our YouTube channel (we’re pushing 400 videos as I write), the list of videos that we make can never be exhausted. So, when it comes to deciding what to film next, we’ve got a LOT to choose from.

Helping You How-To

We’re pretty proud of our how-to videos, which help our customers with common appliance fixes.

Preparing for and shooting the videos can be a long process, but it’s absolutely worth it in the end to be able to provide information that can help DIY’ers or more importantly, non DIY’ers fix their appliances all by themselves. Satisfaction, coupled with cheeky gloating, is guaranteed.

Universal vs Genuine

At eSpares we’re constantly promoting a “make do and mend” attitude. It’s really refreshing to hear about how many people are adopting the same and discovering just how easy it is to carry out home repairs and restore your appliances to their full working glory, for a fraction of the cost of replacing them.

Household appliances should be built to last and it’s unacceptable to think that even when used properly and taken care of, they might give up the ghost after only a couple years. Sure, as to be expected with any machine, individual components will endure wear and tear from usage but this is where you can grab the Bull by the horns, identify the problem, find a solution and fix it yourself!
