Repair guidance / Rangemaster / BR1
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 different pattern: 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.
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.

Bromley and the full address

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “an induction zone does not recognise a pan”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “an induction zone does not recognise a pan”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the hob cuts out after warming”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Bromley postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the hob cuts out after warming” 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.
