Zanussi / Electric hob / BR8
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.
Compare this observation: 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.
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.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “a control knob is loose” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “a zone heats unpredictably”. 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.
