The detail that changes the enquiry.
Start with the hob type and the affected zone. Induction, ceramic and solid-plate equipment need different assessment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Keep the limits clear.
We inspect before naming the failed component. The work, visit charge and any proposed parts are discussed with you. Existing equipment only; no new gas installations or LPG conversions. Refrigeration excludes American side-by-side units, compressor replacement and sealed-system work.
