Caple / Electric hob / BR3
One zone will not heat
Tell us the hob type and exact zone that no longer heats. Describe whether other zones and the display remain normal. A zone position is not sufficient to identify a component, especially across different technologies. Keep the glass and underside assembled, and supply the full model from a safely visible label.
Compare this observation: touch controls do not respond
Describe whether the controls are dark, locked or lit but unresponsive. Include any symbol shown and whether the surface was recently cleaned or affected by a spill. Follow only the normal user-lock instructions for the model. Do not spray liquid into controls or infer a failed circuit board from touch behaviour alone.
Working room is restricted.
Mention the space around the equipment and anything blocking normal access. Do not drag a machine out, loosen a mounting or disconnect pipework to show the fault.
For the Beckenham address
BR3 is the starting point for Beckenham. Include the full postcode and whether access involves a flat entrance, stairs or fitted cabinetry. Do not move the appliance to prepare a photograph.
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 “one zone will not heat” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “touch controls do not respond”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: working room is restricted. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
