Know the home, know the fault
Chudleigh is an ancient wool town situated in the Teign Valley close to the edge of Dartmoor. In these properties, kitchen layouts might dictate the use of built-in electric or induction hobs rather than freestanding cookers. We repair these electric cooking appliances, though we do not work on gas hobs or any gas equipment. When a hob stops working, preparing meals becomes difficult. Electric and induction hobs develop specific faults over time. On ceramic models, a zone or ring that will not heat is a fault sometimes caused by a failed heating element or a broken energy regulator. Induction hobs operate differently, using magnetic fields to heat the pan directly. When touch controls do not respond or error codes appear, the problem is usually related to the internal control board or user interface. Another issue with electric hobs is when they trip the electrics. This happens if moisture gets into the wiring or if an element shorts out to the earth, requiring the appliance to be isolated and the damaged component replaced. We visit homes across the area, including nearby Chudleigh Knighton, to repair electric cooking appliances. During a visit, we look at why zones are not heating, investigate unresponsive touch controls, and trace the source of electrical tripping. We dismantle the unit in your kitchen to test the internal wiring, thermal limiters, and control modules to identify the faulty part.

Call 01752 922765Error codes on an induction hob indicate a fault detected by the internal electronics. This can be caused by overheating, a ventilation issue underneath the unit, or a failing control board. We dismantle the hob to inspect the cooling fans and electronic modules, testing the components to determine why the appliance is shutting down.
When a single zone on a ceramic hob fails to heat, the heating element itself has usually broken. Alternatively, the energy regulator or touch control switch that sends power to that specific ring might have failed. We test the continuity of the element and the switches to identify which part needs replacing.
An electric hob will trip the circuit breaker if there is a short to earth. This happens when the internal insulation on a heating element breaks down, or if liquid has boiled over and seeped into the wiring. We isolate the appliance and test each component with a multimeter to locate the short circuit.
