How do you fix an electric cooker hob that won't heat up?
Fixing an electric cooker hob that won't heat up requires professional diagnosis, as it can stem from several issues. Common causes include a faulty heating element (electric hob ring), issues with the energy regulator, or problems with the wiring or control switch. Our skilled engineers are experienced in repairing a variety of electric hob problems, including those where the hob plate fails to heat up, and they use original brand-specific replacement parts to ensure lasting results.
How do you fix a gas cooker hob that won't stay lit?
If your gas cooker hob won't stay lit, the issue typically lies with the thermocouple, which is a safety device that senses if the flame is lit. If the thermocouple is dirty, faulty, or not correctly positioned in the flame, it will cut off the gas supply. Other causes can include a faulty ignition switch, burner cap alignment issues, or problems with the gas flow. Our Gas Safe registered engineers are adept at diagnosing and fixing such problems, ensuring your gas hob operates properly and safely.
How to replace an electric hob?
Replacing an electric hob involves carefully disconnecting the old hob from its electrical supply and removing it from the worktop. The new hob is then positioned, and its electrical connections are safely wired to the mains. This process often requires cutting into the worktop if the new hob has different dimensions. As it involves high electrical loads, this task should only be performed by a qualified electrician or certified appliance engineer, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
How to replace a gas hob?
Replacing a gas hob involves disconnecting the old hob from the gas supply, carefully removing it from the worktop, and then positioning and connecting the new gas hob. This process must only be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer due to the inherent dangers of working with gas. The engineer will ensure all connections are secure, test for gas leaks, and confirm the new appliance is operating safely and optimally according to manufacturer guidelines and UK regulations.
