Know the home, know the fault

Properties in this coastal part of south west England vary considerably in age and style. The narrow streets near the harbour feature small terraced cottages built during or before the nineteenth century, where kitchen space can dictate a compact electric hob. Residential properties located further inland generally date from the nineteen thirties to the nineteen seventies. In these newer or larger kitchens, wide induction hobs are a practical option. When a cooking surface stops working, it immediately disrupts meal preparation. A ceramic or induction hob can develop several issues over its lifespan. Touch controls can become unresponsive if moisture gets underneath the glass or if the main control board fails. When a specific cooking zone or ring refuses to heat, the underlying element or induction coil might be faulty, or the energy regulator could be broken. Sometimes, a hob will switch itself off unexpectedly and display an error code, which points to a communication failure between internal components. If the unit trips the household electrics when turned on, there is likely a short circuit in the wiring or a damaged heating element. We only repair electric and induction cooking appliances, so we do not work on gas hobs. When visiting a property in areas like Fishtown, we look at why zones or rings will not heat and investigate touch controls that do not respond. We also trace the cause of error codes, hobs that switch off mid-cycle, and units that trip the electrics. We repair appliances in customers' homes.
