One of the halogen bulbs on my creda solar plus 48317 has stopped working.
Does anyone know how to get at the hob elements. I cant find a way to get the glass top off! Help
Re: creda solar plus 48317
I assume you mean halogen elements not bulbs.
Access to the hob elements is not really a DIY job, requires side panels etc to be removed.
Re: creda solar plus 48317
Could you give me a bit more detail on how to remove the top, because at the moment i cant really afford to pay an engineer to do it! thanks
Re: creda solar plus 48317
Unfortunately I cannot. I have absolutely no idea as to your level of competence, so for safety and legal reasons, cannot possibly go into chapter and verse. I do hope that you don’t take offence but if you cannot work out how to get the top off, you shouldn’t be trying.
I fully appreciate the financial implications but I would not want to pick up my morning paper to read that someone had burnt the house down or electrocuted themselves as a result of information given on this web site.
There are other sites without the same standards that we try to maintain.

Re: creda solar plus 48317
As iadom said it is realy a job for an engineer.The halogen although seperate can normaly only be bought with the heater and you can expect to pay about £80 or more depending on which one has gone. To access the elements you do have to remove the side panels (screws in front and rear) should you attempt this be sure to isolate the cooker from the main supply first If the appliance is hard wired i.e no plug on it, then turn off the mains power befor working on it. It is not unheard of for the wall sockets to be wired up the wrong way round, so just removing the fuse may not be the answer. With the side panels off you will have access to the brackets and screws holding the hob in place. The glass on these hobs cost over £200 to replace so be very carefull with it. You should be able to see a 10 way connection block under the hob, disconect it and you can now turn the whole unit upside down to work on. P.s if you are at all worried about it get an engineer to do the work it could save you money in the long run.
