\"Common<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Glotech we understand that a fault with one of your cooking appliances can greatly hinder your plans and cause a lot of frustration in your household.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we have created this handy guide, which will cover most of the common faults and problems with domestic cooking appliances. This includes built-in and freestanding ovens, cookers and hobs, including gas.<\/p>\n

As there are an incredible amount of different faults that can occur in these appliances, we have selected the most common errors in our guide.<\/p>\n

Therefore, with any cases that can\u2019t be found on this list, we recommend getting in touch<\/a><\/u><\/span> with one of our fully qualified Glotech engineers<\/a>, who will be able to offer a quick and hassle free repair.<\/p>\n

Problems with built-in cooking devices<\/h2>\n

Integrated oven<\/h3>\n

Tripping electrics<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

If your built-in oven is tripping your electrics, this is commonly caused by a malfunctioning element in the appliance, which will require a professional repair or replacement.<\/p>\n

Not heating<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

This fault can either be caused by a problem with the element or fan motor.<\/p>\n

If the fan is spinning, the problem will most likely be with the heating element. However, this could also be caused by a faulty thermostat or timer.<\/p>\n

Power present but isn\u2019t working<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

This can sometimes occur if the PCB timers need to be reset.<\/p>\n

Integrated electric hob<\/h2>\n

One broken ring on hob<\/h3>\n

This can occur for a number of reasons; however, the most common one is likely to be a faulty heater. This will require repairing or replacing.<\/p>\n

Two broken rings on hob<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

If a set of rings have stopped working on your hob, this most likely indicates an electronic fault rather that one with the rings. This can be either a burnt-out cable or a problem with the selector switch.<\/p>\n

This fault will require the attention of an engineer.<\/p>\n

Integrated gas hob<\/h2>\n

Hob not sparking <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you have ensured that your gas is connected, then a couple of issues can cause this problem.<\/p>\n

These problems include a broken spark generator and a damaged electrode as both would cause the spark to not light. A repair engineer will be able to shed light on the problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hob constantly igniting <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

There are also a variety of reasons why a hob can constantly ignite, and more than one fault can occur at once. Calling an engineer as soon as possible will prevent this problem from causing any more damage.<\/p>\n

Integrated cooker hood<\/h2>\n

Extremely noisy<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

While a cooker hood is bound to make some noise when turned on, if there is a noticeable sudden change in the volume of this there is most likely to be a motor fault that will require repairing.<\/p>\n

Freestanding appliances<\/h2>\n

Range and slot in gas cookers<\/h3>\n

Small flame in oven<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

If your oven is producing a small flame, then this is often caused by the flame failure device and should be brought to the attention of a professional to get your device running safely.<\/p>\n

Hob constantly igniting<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

This problem is again, harder to diagnose without an in-person evaluation as many different issues can cause it. Therefore, a Glotech appointment should be booked as soon as possible to fix this fault.<\/p>\n

As with any gas work it is a legal requirement that the worker carrying out the job is gas safe registered.<\/p>\n

We only ever send out gas safe engineers to gas cookers and hobs. As it is vital that you get a qualified and insured individual carrying out these repairs, we are a great choice as we offer a guarantee on any work undertaken.<\/p>\n

Book a repair toda<\/a><\/span>y<\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span>, to ensure that your kitchen is in safe hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
