Evening Ladies,

Wonder if you can help me, we have an electric oven and it was brand new when we moved in so had never been used...the thing is the hob is very odd ...it keeps turning itself on and off near on every 10 seconds . We had one of the rings on number 6 (hottest setting) and the pasta was barely boiling and the heating elements kept going off and then coming back on again and it's not just the one ring it's all 4 of them. Is this normal?

Hopefully you lovely ladies will be able to shed some light on this for me.

Totally normal hun. I usually switch it on for a few moments before putting the pan on it, then leave it on the hob for about 30 seconds before pouring the boiling water in.

thats normal...its how it regulated the temp

Mine does this too and Ive always pondered if its broke/starting to play up, but then the food was heating & cooking as normal so I never bothered getting it checked. x

Thanks ladies xxx

Yep normal I thought mine was broken too when we 1st had this one hehe I cursed like mad. Then realised what it was doing x

haha I thought mine was really intelligent because seemed to go off if I took a oan off the ring (well that was when I noticed that it went off) and went on when I put it back on... was just a coincidence though and I felt really stupid for thinking it was that clever hehe.

Grrrrr I hate my electric cooker for this, much prefer gas. It takes ages for water to boil and if I've got a huge pan of pasta it just doesn't boil!!! If and when this one packs up I'm definately getting a gas hob!!

Oh but yes it's completely normal hun xx
