Know the home, know the fault

With over a hundred listed buildings and a strong tourism sector supported by annual events, kitchens here serve both permanent residents of the population of around 7,998 people and seasonal holiday visitors. In older properties, fitting modern cooking appliances sometimes means adapting to existing worktop cutouts. Electric and induction hobs are fitted directly into these surfaces, making them a permanent fixture in the kitchen layout. When a hob stops working in a busy household or a holiday let on the edge of Dartmoor, getting it looked at is a priority for whoever is cooking. A ceramic or induction hob can develop several faults over its lifespan. Touch controls that do not respond might point to a failing user interface board or moisture trapped under the glass surface. When zones or rings will not heat, the issue is sometimes a blown heating element in a standard electric model or a faulty generator board in an induction unit. Hobs that switch off unexpectedly or display error codes are usually protecting themselves from internal component failures, ventilation issues, or overheating. If the appliance trips the electrics when turned on, there is likely a short circuit within the internal wiring, a damaged terminal block, or a degraded element. We travel out past places like Parke to repair appliances in customers' homes across the area, including nearby Newton Abbot and Ashburton. During a visit, we look at zones that fail to heat, unresponsive touch panels, error codes, and units that trip the household power supply. Our service covers electric and induction models only, as we do not work on gas hobs or any gas appliance. We carry out the repair work directly in your kitchen.

An induction hob will switch off if it detects an internal fault or if it overheats. This can happen if the cooling fan underneath the unit fails or if the ventilation space in the cabinet is restricted. Error codes usually accompany this behaviour, pointing to specific issues with the main control board or the generator modules.

Unresponsive touch controls are usually caused by a fault in the user interface board located just beneath the glass. Moisture from boiling pans or spills can sometimes seep into the control area, disrupting the sensors. In other cases, a software glitch or a wiring fault between the touch panel and the main power board is the cause.

When a single ring or zone fails to heat, the heating element itself has likely burned out and broken the electrical circuit. Another possibility is a failure in the energy regulator or the relay on the control board that sends power to that specific zone. We test these components to find where the circuit has failed.
