Falcon Pan Detection / Load Sensing Issue

Induction cooktop powers on but shows pan symbol flashing and will not heat even with a pan present.

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

Incompatible or too small cookware, Warped pan base not making full contact, Faulty pan detection circuit in zone module, Damaged induction coil sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not place empty pans on high power; they can overheat quickly.

Check cookware: Use flat-bottomed, magnetic cookware of the correct size for the zone. Avoid copper, glass, or aluminium unless labelled induction-ready.
Try different pan and zone: If one zone consistently fails with known-good cookware, that zone’s electronics may be faulty.
Power reset: Turn off power for 5 minutes and retry.

Internal diagnosis of induction electronics should be left to qualified technicians due to high voltages.
