Possible Causes
Non-magnetic cookware, Cookware too small for zone, Warped pan bottom, Faulty pan detection circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Induction surfaces can still be hot even if not heating; use caution.
- Check cookware: Use a magnetic pan (a magnet should stick firmly to the bottom). Ensure the pan size matches the burner size.
- Center the pan: Place the pan in the center of the cooking zone and ensure full contact with the glass.
- Try another pan: If E1 persists with one pan, test with a different magnetic pan. If all pans fail, the pan detection circuit or coil may be faulty.
- Service needed: Internal induction module or coil replacement typically requires a professional technician.
