Smeg / Electric hob / BR7
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.
Compare this observation: 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.
The symptom followed other work.
State what changed and when the problem began, without assigning a cause from timing alone. Include any moved cabinet, connection or supply arrangement.
For the Chislehurst address
For Chislehurst, provide the complete BR7 postcode and describe the equipment location inside the property. Include any fitted furniture door or restricted access.
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 “a zone heats unpredictably” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the glass is damaged”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: the symptom followed other work. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
