Know the home, know the fault
In older homes, kitchens might have been updated several times, replacing freestanding cookers with built-in electric and induction hobs. Newer properties typically feature fitted kitchens where ceramic or induction models are integrated into the worktops. We repair these electric models, though we do not work on gas hobs or any gas appliances. When an electric hob stops working, the issue usually lies within the internal components beneath the glass surface. Ceramic models rely on radiant heating elements that can burn out over time, leaving a zone unable to heat up. Induction versions use copper coils to generate a magnetic field, and a failure in the inverter board or cooling fan can cause the appliance to display error codes or switch off unexpectedly. Touch controls that do not respond are another issue, sometimes caused by moisture getting under the glass or a fault in the user interface module. If the appliance trips the electrics, there is likely a dead short in the wiring or a blown element. When visiting homes near places like Lux Park, we dismantle the unit in your kitchen to test the internal parts. 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. Testing involves checking the terminal block for loose connections, measuring the resistance of the heating elements, and inspecting the control boards. We trace the electrical faults directly in your home.

Call 01752 922765Induction hobs have internal cooling fans to prevent the electronic boards from overheating. If the fan fails or the ventilation space under the unit is blocked, the appliance will switch off to protect itself. It might also display an error code. We can test the fan and the inverter board.
Touch controls rely on sensors mounted just beneath the glass surface. If liquid boils over and seeps under the glass, it can interfere with the user interface module. A software glitch or a failing control board can also cause unresponsive buttons. We dismantle the unit to test these electronic parts.
A single zone failing to heat usually points to a broken radiant heating element or a faulty energy regulator. The element wire can burn through and break the electrical circuit over time. We measure the resistance of the element and check the wiring connections to locate the exact fault.
