One of the most important kitchen appliances today is the hob. This device, like any equipment, is subject to malfunctions.

During the warranty period, you can use the free repair service. But later, knowing the causes of the most common problems, you can fix minor breakdowns yourself.

Important! To troubleshoot the hob, you need to figure out the source of the breakdown, and then begin repairs.

Causes of hob failure

When the hob does not turn on, there may be different reasons. A common problem with household appliances is a complete or partial lack of contact. There are several reasons leading to such a breakdown:

• The voltage surge caused the safety element to break. It is necessary to replace the element and install an electric current stabilizer;
• The burners are partially or completely not working. First, we test the wiring leading to the heating element and fix the problem. Next, we check the contacts and correct where necessary. Be sure to check the serviceability of the heating element and replace it;
• The device does not turn on. The reason may be failure of the entire device.Replacement can only be made at a service workshop for repairing household appliances;
• Poor heating of the burners. We check the contacts between all elements of the device and adjust them;
• Burners overheating. The cause of the breakdown is a faulty thermostat; it just needs to be replaced by installing a new element;
• A crack has appeared on the ceramic surface. This may be a manufacturing defect, so the device must be returned to the manufacturer. If a heavy object falls on the surface, only a specialist can replace it.

Why does the panel turn on and off?

Sometimes strange things happen to the cooking device. The burners can turn on or off on their own, and at the most inopportune moment. Let's consider the reason for turning off the device.

Touchpad won't turn on

There are situations when the touch hob does not turn on. The root cause of the problem may be:

• Gas jet malfunction;
• The fuse is broken;
• The electrical plug is damaged;
• The socket is faulty;
• The electrical cord is damaged.

It is very easy to fix any of these damages yourself by simply replacing the faulty element with a new one. If one of the burners turns off during operation, it means the heating element is broken. It is better to correct such a breakdown in a workshop, since incorrect replacement of heating elements can lead to complete destruction of the device.

Important! When, after cooling, the burner begins to function again, it means that the overheating protection function has worked. All glass-ceramic panels have this function. When the temperature rises to a critical level, the protection is triggered and the device turns off itself.

The induction hob does not turn on

If your induction cooktop does not turn on, you need to look for the source of the problem in the electrical connections. To troubleshoot the problem you need to:

• Check the operation of the fuse;
• Test the power switch;
• Conduct diagnostics of the power supply and the presence of contacts with the panel.

The faulty element must be replaced. If these measures do not produce results, then you will have to change the entire coil unit.

Important!If error E9 appears on the display, the device reports a malfunction. In this case, you can turn off the device for two minutes. If the display readings have not changed, then the control element needs to be replaced.

Having found out the reasons for the malfunction of the hob, the owner can easily deal with the problem on his own without contacting a workshop.
