Intermittent Pan Detection / Load Instability
Induction zone cycles on and off rapidly or power level seems unstable.

Possible Causes
Warped or uneven cookware, Cookware with layered or sandwich base causing inconsistent detection, Zone operating at very low power with oversized pan, Marginal pan detection circuit on power module
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure cookware and glass are cool before changing pans.
- Try different cookware: Use a high-quality, flat-bottomed induction-compatible pan and test the same zone.
- Adjust power level: Increase the power setting slightly to see if cycling stabilizes; some zones cycle more at very low settings.
- Test other zones: If the issue occurs only on one zone with multiple pans, the power module for that zone may be marginal and require replacement.
- Check installation: Ensure the cooktop is mounted flat and not flexing, which can affect coil-to-glass spacing and detection.
Persistent instability with good cookware usually points to an internal electronics issue.
