Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Switch off power at the cooker isolation switch before inspecting any wiring.
User-level checks:
- Ensure the hob is on a dedicated circuit with the correct breaker rating as specified by AEG.
- Avoid running multiple high-power appliances (e.g. oven, kettle) on the same circuit if not designed for it.
- Reset the hob by turning off the breaker for 2–3 minutes, then restore power.
Professional checks:
- Inspect the terminal block connections for signs of overheating, discoloration, or looseness; tighten or replace as needed.
- Measure voltage under load to confirm it stays within AEG's specified range.
- If supply is stable, the power module may have a faulty undervoltage circuit and require replacement.
Because this involves mains wiring, an electrician or AEG service technician should perform internal tests and repairs.
