Possible Causes

Non-induction-compatible cookware, Pan too small for zone, Warped or uneven pan base, Faulty pan detection circuit on induction module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the cooktop surface is clean and dry.

  • Check cookware: Use a magnet to test the base of the pan. If the magnet does not stick firmly, the pan is not suitable for induction.
  • Match pan size: Use a pan that covers at least 60–70% of the marked cooking zone.
  • Check pan base: Avoid heavily warped or concave pans; use flat-bottomed cookware.
  • Test other zones: Try the same pan on another zone. If it works elsewhere, the original zone may have a coil or detection fault.
  • Service required: If compatible pans are not detected on a specific zone, the induction coil or power module for that zone may need replacement.
