Frequently Asked Questions
Read answers to the most commonly asked questions
1. Why has one of the rings on my hob stopped working?
This is the most common hob fault we encounter. For solid plate or ceramic hobs, it usually means the heating element for that specific ring has burned out. For induction hobs, it could be the element or a sensor issue. In either case, this requires a qualified engineer to safely access the internal wiring and replace the correct part.
2. My hob turned off mid-cooking and won't turn back on. What should I do?
First, check your home’s fuse box to see if the switch for the cooker has tripped. If it has, try resetting it once. If it trips again, leave it off as this indicates an electrical fault. This issue can be caused by a component failure or a short circuit. For your safety, you should book a professional inspection.
3. The warning light that shows the hob is still hot is stuck on, even when it's cold. Is this dangerous?
While the hob surface itself may not be hot, this indicates a fault with the heat sensor or the control board. It’s a safety feature that isn’t working correctly, so it’s important to get it repaired. A Fast Repair engineer can diagnose whether it’s a simple sensor replacement or a more complex issue.
4. My ceramic or induction hob is showing an error code. What does it mean?
Error codes are the hob’s way of telling you what’s wrong. While a user manual might give you a general idea of the problem (e.g., ‘overheating’ or ‘power supply issue’), these codes often point to an internal component failure that requires a technician to resolve. When you book with us, letting us know the error code can help our engineers prepare for the job.
5. I've dropped something and cracked the glass on my ceramic/induction hob. Can this be repaired?
Yes, the glass top on a ceramic or induction hob can be replaced. However, it’s crucial that this is done by a professional. Continuing to use a cracked hob is extremely dangerous as it can lead to electric shock, especially if liquids spill onto it. We can source the correct replacement glass for your model and ensure it is fitted safely.
6. Why are the rings on my ceramic hob glowing, but not getting very hot?
This often points to a fault with the simmerstat or regulator—the part that controls the temperature of the ring. It may be unable to deliver full power to the element. Our engineers can test the component and replace it if necessary, restoring your hob’s full heating capability.
7. My induction hob won't recognise my pans. Is it broken?
First, double-check that your pans are induction compatible. A simple test is to see if a fridge magnet sticks firmly to the base of the pan. If the pans are correct but one or all of the rings are still not working, there could be a fault with the ring’s induction coil or the sensor that detects the pan.
8. Is it worth repairing my electric hob, or should I buy a new one?
Most common hob faults, such as a failed ring, a faulty switch, or a broken sensor, are much cheaper to repair than buying and installing a new hob. A professional repair can extend the life of your appliance for years. A Fast Repair engineer will always provide an honest assessment to help you make the most cost-effective choice.
9. Are your engineers qualified to work on electric hobs?
Absolutely. All our engineers are fully qualified and experienced in diagnosing and repairing all types of electric hobs, including solid plate, ceramic, and modern induction models. They are trained to work safely with high-voltage kitchen appliances, ensuring a professional and secure repair every time.
10. How do I book an electric hob repair?
The easiest and quickest way to book is through our online system. You can enter your details, describe the fault with your hob, and find a time slot that works for you. We provide a clear quote, so you’ll know the cost before the engineer arrives.
