Possible Causes

Faulty temperature limiter on element, Poor pan contact with glass, Incorrect cookware size, Defective control switch or PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Burn hazard: Even if cycling, the zone can still be very hot.

  • Use appropriate cookware: Ensure the pan base matches the zone size and is flat to make good contact with the glass.
  • Observe cycling: Some cycling is normal to regulate temperature, but if the zone never reaches a red glow at higher settings, there may be a fault.
  • Try another zone: If other zones heat normally with the same pan, the affected zone’s temperature limiter or control is suspect.
  • Technician repair: The radiant element and limiter should be tested and replaced if defective. The control PCB may also need inspection.
