Re: Help with problem solving an electric hob.
You sir, are a star!
I shall have a try swapping the switches around this afternoon.Re: Help with problem solving an electric hob.
Perhaps melting is too strong a word. The part of the knob that slides onto the regulator gets hot and pliable. So when you try to turn the knob, it doesnt really do anything, as it just spins off and around.
Ideally I would get a proffessional to look at it. But its a case of watching the pennies or lack there of. Its a Belling 335 cooker. And they are the solid round hob elements. Nothing fancy.
I have questioned them about the warranty, but to no avail. Im sure I could probably chase it further, but the cooker only cost £60. Its a charitable organisation and according to the repair receipts, the new hobs cost more than I paid for the cooker. So I think its one problem Im going to let slide.
Im going to attempt to repair it more out of necessity than anything else, so any pointers you could give would be greatly appreciated.
I have located a simmerstat from an ebay seller for under £7 so that will be mended soon. Thankyou for that 🙂
