Possible Causes
Open or shorted induction coil, Loose coil harness connection, Faulty pan detection circuit on power board, Non-compatible cookware
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the cooktop from the bench.
- Verify cookware: Test with a known good induction-compatible pan of appropriate size. If the zone works with another pan, the issue may be cookware-related.
- Check for cracks: Inspect the glass-ceramic surface over the affected zone. Cracks can affect coil performance and require glass replacement.
- Internal inspection (qualified persons): Remove the cooktop and open the chassis. Locate the coil for the affected zone and inspect for burnt spots or broken windings.
- Harness check: Ensure the coil harness is firmly connected to the power module and not heat-damaged.
- Replace coil or module: If the coil is damaged, replace the induction coil assembly. If the coil is intact but F53 persists, the power module for that zone may need replacement.
