AEG Overheating or Auto-Safety Shutoff

Hob turns itself off during cooking without error code

Safety Warning

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation under hob, Cooling fan failure, Pan left unattended triggering safety timer, Faulty temperature sensor on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

User checks:

Ensure the hob's air inlets and outlets are not blocked by drawers, pans, or insulation.
Remove items stored directly under the hob to improve airflow.
Listen for the cooling fan; if it does not run during or after cooking, it may be faulty.
Check the user manual for automatic switch-off times; some AEG hobs turn off zones after a set period at high power.

If the hob shuts off quickly even at low settings and ventilation is clear, a technician should test the cooling fan and temperature sensors and replace faulty parts.
