Any electricians?

[Billericay Dichio]

We have an electric built-in hob. One of the four plates has started glowing red when we use it and then the electric trips out. Any idea what's causing it? Is it fixable?

Smart-arse comments welcome.

Sounds like it's fucked mate. Hope that helps xx

Whatever it is, it’ll probably cost as much to repair as getting a new one.

Probably this tbh, the element is fucked and leaking to ground more than likely.

Should have went with a gas hob marra.

That ring is for stir frying- you need a lot of heat for that

Tripping out cause it’s fecked, replace the ring and Bobs ya auntie
Have a look for spares against model, should be an easy fix they all come apart easy I’ve found.

Electricians dont fix appliances. We put the power in for them to run. You need an appliance repair man.

Element is probley goosed btw. If it was an oven its a piece of piss, hob may be a bit tricky.

 

[Mickeys Chicken Leg]

Callout + parts + labour for repair? Better off buying a new hob and replacing yourself.

Yeah mate risk your life and house f***ing about with a 40 amp circuit. It's cheaper though.

Like @yamar1 said- sounds like it’s fucked, element will have shorted to earth.
Either-
a) fuck about with it, identifying spare and ordering then replacing (no idea of price of replacement part mind), and chance another ring going in the near future, or
b) get new hob, and at least a year guarantee with it gratis, thus freeing your spare time and effort

9/10 the element is knackered. Replacing it should be easy enough. There is usually a support page on the manufacturers website with contact details etc.
