Dacor induction cooktop displays F32 and disables an induction zone
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power at the breaker. Induction modules contain high-voltage capacitors that can retain charge; do not touch board components unless properly discharged.
- Check ventilation: Ensure the cooktop has proper clearance underneath and that cooling fans and vents are not blocked by insulation or stored items.
- Inspect coil and wiring: Access the underside and inspect the affected induction coil for burn marks, cracks, or melted insulation. Replace the coil if damaged.
- Check fan operation: With the unit reassembled and powered (advanced users only), verify that the cooling fan runs when burners are on. Replace the fan if it does not operate.
- Replace power module: If the coil and fan are good, the induction power module (with IGBTs) is likely faulty and should be replaced as a complete assembly.
Due to the complexity and shock risk, induction module repairs are best left to qualified technicians.
