Electric solid plate or radiant hob zone not heating

Safety: Isolate the cooker from mains and allow hob to cool before lifting the top.

• Check other zones: If only one zone fails, the element or its control is suspect. If all fail, check supply and terminal block.
• Access hob: Remove fixing screws and carefully lift the hob top to expose the elements and wiring.
• Test element: Disconnect the suspect zone and measure resistance across the element. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
• Check regulator: For knob‑controlled zones, test the energy regulator for continuity when turned on. Replace if it does not switch power to the element.
• Touch control models: If controlled by an electronic touch panel, a failed power board or relay may be at fault and the board will need replacement.
