How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the cooktop and allow it to cool.

  • Check airflow: Ensure there is no stored cookware or items blocking the underside of the cooktop. Maintain clearances per installation manual.
  • Clean vents: Vacuum dust from intake and exhaust vents around the cooktop.
  • Use lower power: When boiling large pots, reduce power slightly or use the boost function for shorter periods.
  • Fan operation: Listen for the cooling fan. If it does not run, the fan or its control circuit may be faulty and require replacement.
