Possible Causes

Cooktop configured to low power limit, Inadequate electrical supply (undersized circuit), Overheating of power module, Faulty cooling fan

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.

Steps:

  • Check user settings: Some Brandt induction hobs allow setting a maximum power level (power management). Refer to the user manual to increase the limit if safe for your circuit.
  • Verify circuit rating: Ensure the hob is on a dedicated circuit with the correct amperage as specified by Brandt.
  • Inspect cooling: Confirm that the cooling fan runs and that ventilation openings are clear.
  • Service if needed: If zones still cut out at normal loads, the power module may be overheating or failing and should be checked by a technician.
