Repair guidance / Sharp / 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: 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 Sharp 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 “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, “the glass is damaged”, 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 “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.
