Possible Causes

Normal magnetostriction noise with certain pans, loose coil mounting, pan base construction causing vibration, failing power module components

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Some noise is normal with induction hobs, especially at high power.

Steps to check:

  • Try different pans: Use a heavier, flat-bottomed pan. Lightweight or multi-layer pans can buzz more.
  • Change power level: Reduce the power setting slightly; noise often decreases.
  • Check installation: Ensure the hob is securely mounted and not touching cabinet edges that can resonate.
  • If noise is very loud or crackling: Isolate power and have a technician inspect the coils and power module for loose parts or arcing.
