Repair guidance / Hotpoint / BR6
The hob cuts out after warming
Record how many zones were in use and whether the display stayed active when heating stopped. Mention whether the behaviour began after surrounding cabinetry was changed. Do not block ventilation or attempt internal cooling or power modifications.
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.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the hob cuts out after warming”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the hob cuts out after warming”, 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 Orpington 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.
