Possible Causes

Thin or lightweight cookware, Pan not centred on zone, High power with boost mode, Loose mounting of induction module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Noise alone is not usually dangerous, but if accompanied by burning smell or error codes, switch off at the mains.

  • Try different cookware: Use heavier, high-quality induction pans. Cheap or thin pans often buzz more.
  • Centre the pan: Place the pan centrally over the zone marking to reduce vibration.
  • Reduce power: Slightly lower the power setting from maximum or turn off boost mode to see if noise decreases.
  • Check installation: Ensure the hob is firmly secured in the worktop and not touching cabinet sides, which can amplify vibration.
  • If noise is metallic or scraping: Have a technician check for loose coils or mounting hardware under the glass.
