Properties in this village, surrounded by woodland and fields, feature a wide variety of kitchen layouts. Houses built during the settlement's history of silver and lead mining, or those standing since market gardening expanded the local economy, might have limited worktop space. In these kitchens, a built-in electric or induction hob is a practical choice, offering a flat glass surface for preparing meals. In older buildings, such as those sharing architectural heritage with the seventeenth-century school building, updated electrical circuits are required to support modern cooking technology. When these appliances stop working, the symptoms depend on the heating technology installed in the kitchen. Ceramic hobs rely on radiant heating elements under the glass, and a failure here means specific zones or rings will not heat up. Induction models use magnetic coils and rely heavily on internal electronics. If an induction board fails, touch controls might not respond, or the appliance may display error codes and switch off completely. Another issue with electric cooking appliances is a short circuit within the internal wiring, which causes hobs to trip the electrics when turned on. The journey to Bere Alston involves navigating narrow country lanes and a narrow bridge to enter the protected national landscape. Once at your property, perhaps located near The Edgcumbe Hotel, we look at why touch controls fail to operate, investigate zones that refuse to heat, and diagnose error codes. We repair electric and induction hobs in your home, though we do not work on gas hobs or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765Error codes on an induction hob indicate a fault detected by the internal electronics. This can happen if the main control board overheats, a cooling fan fails, or there is a communication error between the touch controls and the power modules. We look at the specific code to identify which internal component needs attention.
A ceramic hob uses radiant heating elements situated just beneath the glass surface. When a specific zone or ring will not heat, the element itself may have burned out and broken the electrical circuit. Alternatively, the energy regulator or the touch control relay responsible for sending power to that specific ring might have failed.
Hobs that trip the electrics usually have a short circuit or an earth leak. This can occur if liquid boils over and seeps into the internal wiring, or if a heating element degrades and exposes live components. We test the appliance to locate the short circuit. We do not work on gas appliances.
