How we repair your Hot Plate
A hot plate is a portable one- or two-burner electric cooking unit with coil, cast iron or induction elements and simple controls. A hot plate uses burners or elements, ignition or power controls, and temperature controls or thermostats to manage surface heat. A technician checks ignition, gas pressure or element continuity, switches and thermostats, and the condition of the cooking surface.
