How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the cooktop and allow it to cool. Disconnect from mains before opening.
- Check ventilation: Ensure there is sufficient clearance under the cooktop and that vents are not blocked by drawers or insulation.
- Inspect cooling fan: Access the underside and verify that the cooling fan runs when zones are active. Replace the fan if it is noisy, slow, or not running.
- Clean dust: Remove dust buildup from the fan and heat sinks on the power modules.
- Sensor check: Inspect the temperature sensor attached to the induction coil. Ensure it is firmly attached and wiring is intact. Replace if damaged.
Warning: Persistent overtemperature can permanently damage the induction modules.
