I hate to throw stuff away
After only about 3 years our Ligik induction hob (LINKHOB10) just stopped working last night. We had not used it for a couple of days so dont know
exactly how or when it went.
Being confident in fixing (or trying to) anything I checked the power supply, which was ok, and then decided to check for internal fuses.
I located a 2A internal fuse that had blown. Due to its fitment it was not an easy out\in job so after getting some parts from Maplins I replaced it.
Wired it all in. . . . POP! a transister further down the line popped. I cant be bothered to replace that.
A new hob is £180, a new power circuit board is £65. Im 80% confident replacing the board will fix it but cant wait for the parts. Its a case of
having to buy a new one and throw the old one away.
I dont want to buy the part and then sell it as working as I may not get my £70 quid back on flea bay.
Just a bit gutted that electronics go wonkey sometimes. . . . I hate it when something cant be fixed.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

It's when you replace the PCB and find that it was a faulty induction heater coil that blew it in the first place - THAT'S when you get
REALLY annoyed!

Not sure I'd like messing around with the hob. To many amps.

For the sake of £115 difference get a new one with warranty thats guaranted to work and wack the faulty one on ebay for a few extra quids.

A little hard work never killed anyone, but why take the risk!
