Water, faults and repairs
What hard water means for your appliances
Hard water carries a lot of dissolved minerals. When it’s heated they come out as limescale on the parts that heat and spray water, so in Tile Hill scale is worth keeping on top of from the day an appliance is fitted.
Washing machines
Limescale coats the heating element. A coated element takes longer to heat the water and can fail, which is a common reason a machine stops heating.
Watch for Washes coming out cold, cycles running much longer than usual, or the electrics tripping when it starts to heat.
Much of the electricity a washing machine or dishwasher uses goes on heating water. Scale insulates the element, so it runs for longer to reach the same temperature and each heated cycle can use more electricity.
What helps Descale as the manual advises, keep the dishwasher softener set for your water and wash at lower temperatures where the care label allows.
Appliance lifespan
Scale wears the parts that heat and move water: elements, valves, pumps and spray arms. Left to build up, it can shorten an appliance’s working life.
Before you replace These are replaceable parts, so wear doesn’t always mean a new appliance. The engineer prices any part separately before you decide whether to go ahead.

About Tile Hill
Tile Hill’s development has strong links with the Coventry–Birmingham railway and the city’s manufacturing history. The railway opened in 1838, and the later Standard Motor Works and industrial development along Torrington Avenue helped shape this western part of Coventry.
