How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Noise alone is not dangerous, but always ensure cookware is stable and the surface is intact.

Steps:

Try different cookware: Use a heavy, flat-bottomed induction-compatible pan. Thin or multi-layer pans can vibrate and buzz more.
Change power level: Reduce the power setting slightly. Noise often decreases at lower levels.
Check coil mounting (advanced): If noise is unusually loud or metallic, disconnect power, remove the hob, and inspect the induction coils. Tighten mounting screws and ensure any damping pads are in place.
Service if abnormal: If you hear cracking, arcing, or smell burning, stop using the hob and have the power module inspected.

Brandt induction cooktop makes loud buzzing or humming noises, especially at high power.
