Stoves Hob · your observations
One zone or the entire hob?
Identify the fuel or hob format and copy the affected zone’s display. For induction, mention pan recognition during ordinary use. Do not keep resetting a hob that trips the electricity.
The difficulty is confined to one zone
Record the zone indication and whether other zones respond in ordinary use. Control, recognition and heating questions depend on the actual product; do not deliberately repeat electrical trips.
A dark panel or an unresponsive control
State whether any display or light remains on. Note a recent power interruption if one occurred. Keep electrical covers closed; an enquiry does not require live testing or measurements.
If the last use was interrupted
Say whether someone cancelled the programme, power was interrupted or the appliance stopped by itself. Those are different starting points; timing alone cannot establish the cause.
Where another person authorises work
Agree who owns the appliance, approves charges and provides entry. Keep those arrangements with the service address before a visit is discussed.
The Stoves reference
Retain the complete Stoves label and product ending, with the actual appliance type. A badge can cover different or historical products; it does not confirm current production, parts stock or acceptance of all models.
