Ceramic Electric Hob
If one or more zones on a ceramic hob won't heat, the most common cause is a failed heating element beneath that zone. Each zone has its own element.
- Zone element replacement: £100–£170 per zone
- Control switch fault: £80–£130
Induction Hob
Induction hobs use electromagnetic coils rather than elements. Common faults include:
- Induction coil failure: £120–£200
- Control board fault: £130–£220
Gas Hob
If a gas burner lights but won't stay lit, the thermocouple is likely at fault. Cost: £80–£140.
