After just 10 months my ceramic electric plate warmer has stopped working. The neon lights up and all the other electrics are fine, but the plate warmer just won't heat up. Can it be replaced or perhaps does it just need a fuse? Not sure if this is a big job because it looks as if the plate warmer is sealed into the cooker. please help.
Yep, Ive had the same problem. 3 plates in 3 years.
The wiring just falls off the connecter that feeds the heating element.
Must be a design flault. Aftfter 4 years its now out of warranty so i,ve just
left it unfixed.
We have the same problem on a Rangemaster Toledo 110. It is not a fuse.
The 'Hot' light still comes on because that is a different (parallel) circuit.
Examination by a competent electrician has found that the soldering for the wires that power the warming metal strip under the glass is faulty. You will have to ask for a replacement part.
There may be a design flaw, so you might want to enquire about the professional all gas burner top and just use the griddle as a warming plate over the second wok burner.
Good luck.
Our 2008 model failed the same way after 5 years, but the replacement from http://www.espares.co.uk/part/cookers-and-hobs/rangemaster/toledo-110-df%2fng-silver-%28/p/1092/2322/0/1442018/1445583/right-hand-hob-assembly.html has a new design which I am optimistic about - see the second photo on that page. They have soldered substantial tags to a metal-plated section of the glass. This may give anyone else who finds this old thread (as I did) the confidence to buy a replacement - I wasn't going to pay for one with the old design.

i have the same problem toldeo 100 only 12 months old hardly used and the warmer plate does not work even though the neon comes on
I am now waiting for my 3rd replacement plate warmer in 6 years. Each time the wire from it disconnects and shorts out on the frame. MUST be a design fault, using the wrong solder type.
