Repair guidance / Grundig / BR2
One zone will not heat
Identify the affected zone and whether the remaining zones respond normally. Include whether the hob is induction, ceramic or solid plate. Similar-looking surfaces use different systems, and the position of the failed zone does not identify a replacement component.
A different pattern: an induction zone does not recognise a pan
Describe whether the same pan works on another suitable zone and whether other compatible pans are affected. Pan suitability and zone operation need separating. Do not remove the glass or access power electronics to investigate recognition warnings.
A repair in a flat or a room reached by stairs
Include the floor level, entry arrangements and any stairs between the entrance and the equipment. These are practical booking details, not a reason to move the appliance yourself or promise that a repair can be completed on arrival.
Identify this Grundig model
Provide the complete model and serial number from a safely accessible rating label. Do not remove panels or move heavy equipment to find it.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “one zone will not heat”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “one zone will not heat”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “an induction zone does not recognise a pan”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Hayes postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “an induction zone does not recognise a pan” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a repair in a flat or a room reached by stairs — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
