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.
