My parents have a Hotpoint E6005 Electric hob fitted in their kitchen,
however the unit appears to have gone dead.

I've checked the electrical connections using my test meter and there is
power to it, yet none of the controls come on, as if there's no electric.

I know there is a thermal cut-out, however this is supposed to only cut the
electricity to the hobs temporarily. I don't believe the unit is supposed to
go permanently dead like this.

Anything I should try before plumping for a new hob?
