Discuss Help needed with hob fault in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Heat rises, hence anything above the heat source will receive a rise in temperature and get hot, simple physics in essence.Just been to look at a hob that has been getting hot above the electrical / gas connections. I was unfortunately unable to locate the source of the problem.
No visible damage to cables,
Zs fine,
RCD checked out fine,
IR >999 @500v,
And is still fully operational.
I’m Baffled, any ideas?

I know you probably won't be able to answer these...
With the power off did it cool down?
With the gas off did it cool down? It's more over the gas inlet... is it possible there is a leak that has been ignited and is slowly cooking the cooker from the inside???
Really grasping for ideas I know
Did you take it out and inspect the connections? Looks like a classic case of a loose connection to me
On a gas hob really?Did you take it out and inspect the connections? Looks like a classic case of a loose connection to me

It looks like a burnt sticker to me. Never the less, I've never seen a loose connection burn through stainless steel from the connection block below.
bloody obvious to me. it's where an alien spacecraft landed, bearing in mind that it was from a planet where the inhabitants are only 2" tall by earth standards.
Wrong Tel, it's a Phaser burn, probably set on Stunbloody obvious to me. it's where an alien spacecraft landed, bearing in mind that it was from a planet where the inhabitants are only 2" tall by earth standards.
How many cans have you had /you sure its tobacco in those smokes?bloody obvious to me. it's where an alien spacecraft landed, bearing in mind that it was from a planet where the inhabitants are only 2" tall by earth standards.
I was unable to replicate the fault - I turned the gas back on, used all the hobs. Installed the oven and put that on too.
don't do cans. they usually contain that fake beer called lager. one reason them germans lost 2 world wars. they hadn't got real ale to sustain them.How many cans have you had /you sure its tobacco in those smokes?
