Hob Repairs

Hob problems we see across Cape Town

Hobs — whether gas, electric coil, ceramic, or induction — tend to develop faults in one zone or element at a time, and the fix depends heavily on the hob type.

Common faults

• One zone or element not heating — a faulty element on electric and ceramic hobs, or a blocked burner on gas hobs.
• Induction hob not detecting pans — a coil or sensor fault beneath the glass surface.
• No spark on gas hobs — a worn igniter or spark module.
• Cracked glass surface — on ceramic and induction hobs, this needs the surface replaced rather than repaired.
• Controls unresponsive — a fault in the touch control panel or underlying switch.
• Zone stays on after switching off — a stuck relay or control fault, worth having checked promptly.

What we can help with

We test each zone or burner individually and identify exactly which component has failed before any work starts. Induction and ceramic hobs need careful diagnosis since the fault is usually hidden beneath the glass.

When repair makes sense

Individual elements, igniters, and switches are worth repairing. A cracked glass surface is a bigger decision that depends on the hob’s age and value, which we’ll discuss with you honestly.
