Know the home, know the fault
Some neighbourhoods experience high levels of deprivation, meaning households rely heavily on their kitchen equipment lasting as long as possible without needing replacement. Multiple people cooking at different times puts extra strain on ceramic glass surfaces and touch controls. When an electric or induction hob develops a fault, it disrupts meal preparation entirely. A solid plate or ceramic zone that refuses to heat up might have a failed element or a faulty energy regulator. Induction models use electromagnetic coils beneath the glass, and if the touch controls stop responding or the unit starts flashing error codes, it usually points to a communication issue within the internal circuit boards. Sometimes a hob will switch itself off mid-cooking, which happens if the cooling fan fails and the internal components overheat. Another issue is when turning on a ring trips the household electrics, indicating a short circuit or earth leak somewhere in the wiring or the heating element itself. During a visit, we look at zones or rings that will not heat, touch controls that do not respond, error codes, hobs that switch off, and units that trip the electrics. We repair electric and induction cooking appliances in your home, though we do not work on gas cookers, gas hobs or any gas appliance.

Call 01752 922765Error codes on induction models usually indicate a problem with the internal electronics or sensors. It might be a communication failure between the touch control board and the main power board, or an issue with the cooling fan. The specific code helps identify which component is failing and requires attention.
If a ceramic heating zone will not turn down and stays on maximum heat, the energy regulator or the control relay on the circuit board has likely failed in the closed position. This means power is constantly flowing to the element, and the faulty control component will need replacing.
A hob that trips the electrics usually has a dead short or an earth leak. This can happen if a heating element has split and exposed the internal wiring, or if moisture has found its way into the terminal block. The damaged element or wiring must be located and replaced.
