Britannia / Electric hob / BR1 / BR2
An induction zone does not recognise a pan
Explain whether the issue concerns one pan, one zone or all ordinary compatible cookware already used successfully. Include any pan symbol or warning. Do not remove the hob glass or access electronics. The aim is to distinguish a cookware-related observation from a zone complaint before model-specific checks are planned.
Compare this observation: the appliance is completely unresponsive
Stop using the hob if it became unresponsive alongside heat, a burnt smell or electrical protection operating. Describe any remaining lights or sounds and mention recent supply work. Do not open electrical housings or attempt live checks. This enquiry concerns existing electric equipment, not a new gas installation or conversion.
The fitting is behind a furniture panel.
Describe the panel, plinth and visible surroundings. Leave the appliance fitted; photographs and an access description are enough to begin.
For the Bickley address
Bickley addresses can use BR1 or BR2. Keep the complete postcode with the house or flat identifier rather than choosing a district from the town name.
Read the identity, not just the badge.
Quote the complete model and serial or service number from a safely visible label. Similar product names can hide different components. If the label is concealed, leave the appliance in place and tell us the model is unknown.
We do not invent a model catalogue for this brand. Send the exact label details for an individual check.
A useful question for the enquiry
Does “an induction zone does not recognise a pan” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the appliance is completely unresponsive”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: the fitting is behind a furniture panel. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
