Possible Causes

Normal magnetostriction in coils, Thin or lightweight cookware vibrating, Loose mounting of induction coil, Loose cabinet or chassis panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure cookware is stable and the cooktop is properly installed.

  • Change cookware: Try a heavier, thicker-bottomed induction pan. Noise often decreases with better cookware.
  • Adjust power: Reduce the power setting slightly; some noise is normal at high power levels.
  • Check mounting: From below, verify that the induction coils and mounting brackets are tight and that no panels are rattling. Tighten screws as needed.
  • Isolate vibration: Add felt or foam strips (heat-resistant) between loose cabinet trim and the cooktop frame if they are vibrating.

Mild buzzing is normal for induction, but sudden changes in noise level can indicate a loose component.
