Induction hob zone flashes E11 when a pan is placed and does not heat.

Safety first: Disconnect power before internal checks; user-level checks can be done with power on.

• Verify cookware: Ensure the pan is ferromagnetic (a magnet should stick to the base) and has a flat, smooth bottom. Try a different pan of larger diameter.
• Center the pan: Place the pan centrally on the marked cooking zone. Off-center placement can prevent detection.
• Test other zones: If other zones work with the same pan, the issue is likely with the specific zone’s coil or electronics.
• Inspect coil (technician): With power off, open the hob and check the affected zone’s induction coil for cracks, burns, or detached windings. Test continuity of the coil; an open coil must be replaced.
• Check connections: Ensure the coil leads are firmly connected to the power module. Tighten any loose screws.
• Module replacement: If the coil is good but E11 persists only on that zone, the induction power module channel for that zone may be faulty and require replacement.
