Properties around this large flooded valley range from historic dwellings near the seventh-century church to secondary residences owned by entertainers. Intermittent use in a holiday property can mean an electric or induction hob sits idle for weeks, only to be used heavily during the summer season. A modern induction hob is a practical choice for a rental property, but it still relies on complex electronics that can fail over time. When a ceramic or induction hob stops working, the issue is usually isolated to a specific component underneath the glass surface. Touch controls that do not respond might point to a faulty user interface board, or simply moisture trapped under the glass. If zones or rings will not heat but the main display is on, the radiant heating element or the induction coil itself may have failed. Hobs that switch off unexpectedly or display flashing error codes are reacting to internal communication faults or overheating sensors on the main control board. A hob that trips the electrics usually has a dead short in the wiring, a blown filter board, or a damaged terminal block where the mains cable connects. When visiting a home in Fowey or nearby places like Polruan, we test the appliance in the kitchen to find the exact fault. We look at zones that fail to heat, unresponsive touch panels, and units that trip the household power when turned on. Our domestic appliance repair service covers electric cooking equipment only, so we do not work on gas hobs, gas cookers, or any gas appliance. We also repair other kitchen equipment such as electric ovens, dishwashers, and washing machines.

Call 01752 922765An induction hob will switch off if it detects an internal fault or if the ventilation is blocked, causing the cooling fan to fail. The appliance shuts down to protect the internal circuit boards from heat damage. We look at the cooling fans, temperature sensors, and the main control modules.
When a ceramic heating zone stays on maximum heat and will not turn down, the energy regulator or the control board relay has usually failed in the closed position. The switch is stuck sending continuous power to the element. We test the control switches and relays to locate the fault.
A hob that trips the electrics usually has a dead short to earth. This happens if a heating element splits, moisture gets into the terminal block, or a component on the filter board blows. We inspect the wiring, elements, and internal boards to find where the short circuit is happening.
