Common electric hob faults

The Temperature Remains Constant

If the temperature of the electric hob remains the same, despite changing the heat setting, then there might be a problem with the thermostat. The thermostat will need to be checked for continuity with a multimeter. If the test fails, clean the contacts of the thermostat, and try again. If it fails again, replace it.

My hob keeps tripping my electric circuit

There are two possible reasons for this occurring, the first is an overloaded circuitry: There might be several appliances connected to the same circuit which is causing an overload in the current. Remove all the other appliances, reset the breaker, and then switch on the hob. It should not trip.

 But if it still does, there might be a problem with the circuit breaker or damage to the wire insulation, which will need to be repaired by a professional. Book now.

The other fault may be a faulty socket – plug the appliance into a different socket to see if this makes any difference. If the socket is the issue, we would advise getting an electrician out to repair the plug socket.

‘E’ Symbol Keeps Flashing

The E symbol is an indicator that a switch is being continuously pressed, even though you aren’t. This can occur due to dirt that has accumulated in the hob, resulting in a short circuit, or due to a faulty touchpad. Clean the hob with a dry cloth. Furthermore, you can remove the power and turn the hob back on. Some hobs also have the ability to be rebooted. If the problem still persists, the touchpad will need to be replaced.
