How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal hazard for basic checks; disconnect power before opening the appliance.
- Step 1 – Review user manual: Confirm the correct procedure for assigning the timer to a specific zone; many Balay hobs require selecting the zone first, then setting the timer.
- Step 2 – Reset settings: Turn off the cooktop at the breaker for 5 minutes to reset the electronics.
- Step 3 – Test each zone: Assign the timer to each zone individually and verify which zone is affected. Note any mismatches.
- Step 4 – Internal check (technician): Inspect the wiring and connectors between the touch control and power board. If wiring is correct, the touch control PCB may have a logic fault and should be replaced.
If the timer consistently controls the wrong zone, professional service is recommended.
