  • tripping electrics – commonly caused by a malfunctioning element.
  • not heating – could either be the element or fan motor, if the fan is spinning then it is most likely to be the heating element. however could also be caused by a faulty thermostat or timer.
  • power is present but isn’t working – sometimes the pcb timers need to be reset for the oven to work.

integrated hob electric

  • one dead ring – can be a couple of faults most likely to be a faulty heater.
  • two dead rings – being a set of rings have gone it most likely an electronic fault either a burnt out cable or maybe the selector switch.

  • hob not sparking – can be a couple of issues from a broken spark generator to a damage electrode.
  • hob constantly igniting – also can be a couple of issues and isn’t always the same fault.

integrate hood

  • noisy – if the change is sudden it is most likely to be a motor fault.

freestanding

range and slot in cookers gas
