Possible Causes

Open or damaged induction coil, Loose coil connection, Faulty zone channel on power module, Cracked glass affecting sensor coupling

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the hob.

  • Cross-test cookware: Confirm that the same pan works on other zones to rule out cookware issues.
  • Inspect coil: Remove the hob and open the underside. Inspect the affected zone’s induction coil for cracks, burns, or detached windings.
  • Continuity test: Measure resistance of the coil. An open circuit indicates a failed coil that must be replaced.
  • Check connections: Tighten coil terminal screws and ensure connectors are secure.
  • Power module: If the coil is good but the zone still does not detect pans, the corresponding channel on the induction power module is likely faulty and the module should be replaced.
