Caple / Electric hob / BR2
The glass is damaged
Do not use a hob with damaged glass. Keep liquid away and do not touch damaged areas or investigate beneath the surface. Provide a safely taken photograph and the complete model. A matching outline or width does not establish which glass assembly is suitable; the appliance identity is needed first.
Compare this observation: the hob cuts out after warming
Stop use if the hob cuts out repeatedly after warming or appears to overheat. Describe the number of zones in use and whether the display remained lit. Mention changed cupboards or storage nearby. Do not alter cooling arrangements or remove the appliance to investigate the cause; assessment needs the actual model.
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 Hayes address
Specify Hayes in Bromley, Kent, with the complete BR2 postcode. This avoids confusing the address with other places named Hayes.
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 “the glass is damaged” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the hob cuts out after warming”. 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.
