Siemens / 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: 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.
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 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.
A manufacturer reference checked on 2026-10-26. Model identity does not confirm parts, stock or repair acceptance.
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 “one zone will not heat”. 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.
