Is there an inherent fault with the Baumatic’s B12 ceramic hob?
For some time now, our hob continues to throw a strange wobbler : to start with, on odd occasions the smaller diameter ‘cooking zones’ failed to work…but the next time we tried it, they worked just as they should.
After a few weeks, they just stopped working completely.
It’s always the same pair of ‘cooking zones’ that cause the trouble – the 1.20kW smaller rings, top left and bottom right as you look at it.We had an electrician friend have a quick look at it last week : he couldn’t find anything wrong at all. The wiring is “logical” according to him, with no burnt wires, loose connections or dry joints in evidence.
In effect, everything is as it should be.
As a matter of course, he tightened the connections, before he put it back together, positioned it in the worktop cutout, et voila – everything worked!
All four ‘rings’, absolutely fine!24 hours later, the hob was used again, and all rings still worked!
Success! ….except that only 5 minutes later, the two culprits packed in again!
Is there some kind of ‘safety cut-off’ that’s mistakenly cutting in, or……?All suggestions welcome, and my thanks to you in advance….
Re: Baumatic B12 hob : intermittant problem…
Baumatic connection blocks (where the mains supply goes in and connects to the internal wiring) melt regularly. Tightening the connections will move the wiring slightly and give a temporary circuit. A closer look is required – Power Off!! . :plug:
Contacting Baumatic may take some persistence…… 😉Hope that helps,
Steve.

Cheers, Aqualectric…
Know what you mean about Baumatic contact – apparently over 100 folk on the (outsourced?) service desk, and all seemingly hellish busy!
Eventually managed to get through and arrange a meet Wed after Easter….£80 though, so I’ll be very ****ed off if it IS just a bad connection!
We shall see!
Thanks again….you’re a good ‘un.
