How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the control panel.

Steps:

  • Symptom check: If the zone is either fully on or off regardless of knob position, the regulator is likely faulty.
  • Access controls: Remove the front control panel or hob frame to reach the infinite switches.
  • Inspect wiring: Ensure all terminals are tight and not burnt.
  • Replace regulator: Swap the suspect energy regulator with a new Brandt-compatible part, transferring wires one by one to avoid miswiring.
