Caple / 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: a zone heats unpredictably
Stop using a zone that seems to heat without dependable control. Record the selected level and whether heating stayed on, changed unexpectedly or stopped. Do not carry on cooking to reproduce the behaviour. Give the model and hob type so the control and heating arrangement can be assessed appropriately.
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 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 “a zone heats unpredictably”. 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.
