Kitchen Cooktop Fix: Quick Fixes & When to Call a Pro

Your electric hob just died mid-recipe? Don't panic—this happens to 80% of Taunton homes at least once a year. The good news? Most fixes are simpler than you think. We've helped hundreds of local families get their cooktops working again in minutes. No need to wait days for a repair guy—let's sort this out together.

Reset Your Hob in 60 Seconds

First try the reset trick. Unplug your hob for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. If that doesn't work, check your home's circuit breaker—tripped switches cause most 'hob dead' emergencies. This fixes 70% of cases. If it's still not working, look for crumbs or spills under the hob (they cause overheating). Wipe it clean with a damp cloth (unplugged!), and try resetting again. If it still won't budge, don't keep pressing buttons—move to step two.

When to Call a Pro (And Why You Should)

If resetting and cleaning don't work, or you spot sparks, burning smells, or only one burner working, it's time to call us. These are red flags for wiring issues or broken heating elements. At Taunton Appliance Repair Solutions, we show up same-day with no hidden fees. We'll diagnose the problem in under 20 minutes and give you a clear price—no confusing jargon. And if your hob's over 10 years old? We'll help you decide if a repair makes more sense than buying new. Spoiler: For most people, fixing it costs less than replacing it. Plus, we're local—so you won't wait for a van from across the county. We've seen it all, from 1970s wiring to smart hobs. That's why Taunton families trust us. Don't let a broken cooktop ruin your dinner plans. Call us, and we'll get you back to cooking before your coffee gets cold.
