Mercury / Electric hob / BR5
The supply protection operates
Leave the hob out of use after electrical protection operates. Explain whether the event followed switching on, a change of setting or normal cooking. Do not repeatedly reset the circuit or bypass a protective device. The timing and equipment details help prepare a professional assessment without risking another trial.
Compare this observation: the appliance is completely unresponsive
Stop using the hob if it became unresponsive alongside heat, a burnt smell or electrical protection operating. Describe any remaining lights or sounds and mention recent supply work. Do not open electrical housings or attempt live checks. This enquiry concerns existing electric equipment, not a new gas installation or conversion.
The equipment shares its position.
Tell us about stacked equipment, neighbouring cupboards or other fittings that limit access. A visible connection is not an invitation to loosen it.
For the Petts Wood address
Use the complete BR5 postcode for a Petts Wood enquiry. Keep the fault code separate from the model number; the two details identify different things.
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 supply protection operates” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the appliance is completely unresponsive”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: the equipment shares its position. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
