Induction cooktop makes loud buzzing or humming noise during operation

Safety first: Noise alone is not usually dangerous, but if accompanied by burning smell or error codes, switch off the cooktop and disconnect power.

User actions:

• Try different induction-compatible cookware. Heavy, flat-bottomed pans usually reduce noise.
• Reduce the power level slightly; many induction units are noisier at maximum powerBoost.

Technician actions:

• Check that the induction coils are firmly mounted and that any damping pads are in place.
• Inspect the power module for signs of damage.
• If noise is excessive and abnormal, replace the induction coil assembly or power module as indicated by diagnostics.
