Repair guidance / Mercury / 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: touch controls do not respond
Note whether the panel is dark, shows a lock symbol or reacts without changing the heat setting. A normal user lock procedure is model-specific. Do not apply cleaning liquid to a powered control area or assume a new control module is needed from the symptom alone.
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 Mercury model
Include the full model, fuel type, serial number and which oven, hob zone or control has failed. Gas work and engineer qualification must be confirmed before acceptance.

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, “touch controls do not respond”, 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 “touch controls do not respond” 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.
