Here's the truth: some fixes are dead simple. If your electric hob suddenly stopped working, try unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. It's fixed 70% of the time - I've seen it work on my own hob after a power surge. Same with water heaters: if the reset button trips constantly, it's often just a loose wire. Turn off the breaker first (yes, really!), then check connections. Easy peasy.
Remember: if you're unsure, stop. It's better to be safe than to make a small problem into a big one. We get calls all the time from folks who tried to fix their water heater and ended up with a flooded kitchen. Not worth it. But if it's a quick reset or a loose part? Go for it. You'll feel like a hero when your fan starts spinning again, and you'll save yourself a £60 call-out fee. That's the real win.
