Possible Causes

Induction coil magnetostriction, control board transformer hum, loose panel vibrating, cooling fan noise

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before tightening panels or accessing internal components.

  • Identify source: Listen carefully to locate the noise. Induction zones often make a soft buzzing that changes with power level and is normal.
  • Check panels: Tighten any loose screws on side panels, back panels, or cooktop mounting brackets that may vibrate.
  • Inspect fan: If the noise is from the cooling fan, check for debris or bent blades and clean as needed.
  • Service if abnormal: Loud, harsh buzzing or arcing sounds may indicate a failing induction power module or transformer and should be inspected by a technician.
