Lunar quasar 525 leaking hob

[muriel_374409704]

Love this van which I have owned since June, but has anyone had trouble with hob leaking?When cleaning the hob I found liquid leaked from left hand side under rubber seal down the outside of the cooker straight onto the electric socket in the bottom cupboard. The socket then of course tripped out. Lunar don't see this as a problem but I do - easy enough for a pan to boil over. Any solutions?

Complain loudly to the dealer from which you bought it. That is dangerous and against the sale of goods act.

I'm playing Devil's Advocate here, but isn't letting a pan boil over a user-induced fault? An analogy - If you drove your car into a lamp post and dented/split the radiator you could get scalded. Is it the car manufacturer's fault you are scalded? Also, you could get electrocuted from the exposed wires when knocking the post down. Is electrocution the electric company's fault?

PS - we haven't tried it yet with our dealer-special Quasar. 🙂

Edit - of course I'm talking about the UK. You can blame anybody in the USA.

I don't think it's unreasonable to want to clean a hob with 10 ml Flash or similar without it leaking onto an electric socket - or are you being a bit tongue in cheek? Although Lunar say it is electrically safe I don't agree. I wonder if it is a design glitch because this is a new model?

If water can drip or fall directly onto an electrical socket it is a danger and a design fault.
Ok, so the danger may be on the minimal side considering where the socket is, but it IS a danger and should be remedied.

It quite obviously does NOT meet the regulations in 17th Edition which it MUST do.

Are you saying the liquid is the cleaning fluid that you're putting on, or a liquid coming from elsewhere? If it's the latter, then I'd be wanting to know what it is and where it's coming from. If the former, are you perhaps being a bit too liberal with its application?

Or, is it that the liquid is getting from the outside (where you're putting it), under the rubber seal, and running down the inside. If it's that, then obviously the rubber seal isn't sealing, so I'd be speaking to the Dealer to get it sorted.
