Possible Causes
Faulty main control firmware, Common sensing circuit failure, Incorrect installation (thick non-magnetic countertop under coils), Severe supply voltage issues
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the cooktop is correctly installed and powered off before inspection.
- Verify cookware: Test with multiple known-good ferromagnetic pans.
- Check installation: Confirm that there is no metal sheet or thick non-approved material between the coils and the glass. The coils must be close to the glass underside.
- Power reset: Disconnect power for several minutes, then restore and test again.
- Service intervention: If all zones fail to detect pans despite correct installation and cookware, the main control or sensing circuits are defective and require replacement by a technician.
Warning: Do not modify the cooktop mounting or add spacers that change coil-to-glass distance.
