Repair guidance / Stoves / 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: a control knob is loose
Describe whether the knob itself moves freely, fails to select a setting or has visible damage. A loose outer knob and an internal control fault need different assessment. Do not use pliers on an exposed shaft or force a damaged control.
A fault noticed after other work
Describe what was moved or changed and when the symptom first appeared. Keep that sequence factual; timing alone does not establish who caused the fault or which component has failed. Mention any work around the supply, waste or cabinetry.
Identify this Stoves 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 “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, “a control knob is loose”, 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 “a control knob is loose” 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 fault noticed after other work — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
