Hi.
3 years ago we had a new Induction Hob fitted, by a large firm of local electricians who we have confidence in, who also do work for large construction companies, local schools, etc. The hob has been great to use.
Yesterday evening a horrid burning plastic smell arose for the first time in our kitchen. We couldn't trace its source, until today we found that part of the plastic tray in the cutlery drawer (directly under the induction hob) has melted!
Using the hob again tonight, with caution, the horrid smell returned, despite the drawer/tray being no where near this time.
Obviously we need to urgently address this, with the services of a qualified electrician.
But I cannot find anything about this type of incident on the internet, which is surprising.
For those with electrical knowledge, what's probably causing this, unexpectedly now?
Thanks.
