Possible Causes
Non-magnetic cookware, Pan too small for zone, Faulty induction coil sensor, Failed induction power module
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before internal service.
- Verify cookware: Ensure the pan is induction-compatible (magnet sticks firmly to bottom) and at least as large as the inner ring of the zone.
- Center the pan: Place the pan in the center of the cooking zone.
- Try another pan: If another known-good induction pan works, the original pan is incompatible.
- Internal checks: If no pans work on that zone but others are fine, access the induction module and test the coil and wiring. Replace the induction module if defective.
