Know the home, know the fault

Some homes are considerably older, with parts of the manor house near the churchyard dating to the fifteenth century. In older rural properties, kitchens might have been updated several times, bringing in built-in electric and induction hobs. These appliances sit flush with the worktop and require adequate ventilation underneath to keep their internal electronics cool during cooking. When a hob stops working, the symptoms depend on the heating technology. Ceramic models use radiant elements under the glass, which can fail and leave a zone unable to heat. Induction hobs use magnetic coils and rely heavily on internal cooling fans and circuit boards. If the touch controls do not respond or the appliance switches off unexpectedly, there is usually a communication failure between the user interface and the main power board. Error codes flashing on the display point to specific component faults. A hob that trips the household electrics has a dead short, which might be a burnt-out element, a damaged terminal block or moisture getting into the wiring. We travel out to the village in the valley of the River Avon and the surrounding hamlets like Harbourneford to repair these cooking appliances in your home. During a visit, we look at zones or rings that will not heat, touch controls that fail to register a finger press, and hobs that switch off or display error codes. We do not work on gas cookers or any gas appliance, but we carry out fault finding on electric models to resolve tripping issues.
