Caple / Electric hob / BR6
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.
Compare this observation: a control knob is loose
Describe whether the outer knob is loose, the shaft feels unusual or the selected setting no longer changes. Stop using a control that cannot operate reliably. Do not grip an exposed shaft with tools or force a damaged fitting. The model determines the correct control arrangement and any suitable repair.
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.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “the hob cuts out after warming” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “a control knob is loose”. 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.
