Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
User observation: It is normal for the fan to run for some minutes after use, but it should not run indefinitely.
User step: If the fan runs for more than 30–40 minutes after last use, switch off the hob at the mains for a few minutes and then back on.
Technician steps:
- Check the NTC temperature sensors on the heat sinks and coils for correct readings.
- Inspect the fan control relay or triac on the main control PCB for welded contacts.
- Verify correct wiring of the fan; it should be controlled, not permanently live.
Replace the control board or fan relay if it is stuck on.
