    Hi,

    While cooking a couple of days ago the red light on my hob (which has previously never worked) started flickering, and then a crackling noise started coming from behind the hob switches. I turned it off immediately, then saw a little smoke coming from under the switches.

    Turns out, whoever had fitted it (just over a year ago) hadn’t properly fitted one of the rubber seals under one of the switch knobs – so I’d guess some water had got in and caused the trouble.

    Nothing seemed to actually blow, but obviously I am not too keen to turn it back on to find out!

    Anyway, my question is: is this a problem an engineer would normally try and fix or am I looking at a new hob?

    It has Arrow printed on the back right corner. It looks identical to this:
    http://www.teba.com/uk/Alisveris/urundetay.aspx?id=359 but in white.
    So that’d make it a TOA24GBX1. The oven is also Arrow (SOEH W A0200) if that is any help.

    Cheers for any advice,
    Jim

    Fixing it is the cheaper option of course, provided someone in your area can do it that is? Click on the link below to find out? 😉
