How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Turn off power and investigate the cause.

  • Identify trigger: Note whether the trip occurs when using a specific burner or the oven. This helps locate the faulty circuit.
  • Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear cover and check for burnt or melted connections at the power terminal block. Replace if damaged.
  • Check elements and wiring: Inspect oven elements and cooktop elements for visible damage. Look for wires that have rubbed against sharp metal and exposed copper. Repair or replace as needed.
  • Induction module: If the trip occurs only when an induction zone is used and no wiring damage is visible, the power module may be shorted and should be replaced.
  • Professional help: If you are not comfortable working with mains voltage, contact a qualified technician or electrician.
