Possible Causes

Non-magnetic cookware, Pan too small for zone, Warped pan bottom, Faulty pan detection circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Surface may be hot from residual heat. Use caution.

  • Verify cookware: Ensure a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of the pan. If not, use induction-compatible cookware.
  • Match pan size: Use a pan that covers at least 60–70% of the cooking zone.
  • Check pan bottom: Avoid heavily warped or concave pans; use flat-bottomed cookware.
  • Service if needed: If multiple compatible pans fail on the same zone, the induction coil or power module pan detection circuit may be faulty and require replacement.
