Repair guidance / LG / BR3
A zone heats unpredictably
Describe the selected setting and whether the zone switches off, stays unusually hot or changes without input. Stop using a hob that cannot be controlled reliably. Do not continue cooking to establish a pattern when overheating is suspected.
A different pattern: the glass is damaged
Stop using a hob with cracked glass, especially where liquid could reach electrical parts. Photograph the damage only from a safe position and provide the complete model. Replacement glass must match the appliance; dimensions alone do not establish compatibility.
Equipment sharing space with other fittings
Mention stacked equipment, adjacent storage or a cupboard arrangement that limits access. An external picture can be useful. Leave the surrounding fittings in place until the person assessing the job confirms what access is required.
Identify this LG model
Record the full model and serial number and whether the symptom appears during washing, draining or spinning.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “a zone heats unpredictably”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “a zone heats unpredictably”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the glass is damaged”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Beckenham postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the glass is damaged” 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 — equipment sharing space with other fittings — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
