Possible Causes
Failed zone sensor circuit on power module, Damaged coil wiring, Faulty glass temperature sensor for that zone
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components. Induction circuits carry high voltage and current.
Steps:
- Verify cookware: Test multiple known-good induction pans on the affected zone. Confirm they work on other zones.
- Inspect wiring: Remove the cooktop and bottom cover. Check the wiring harness from the affected coil to the power module and any associated sensors. Reseat connectors.
- Test coil continuity: Use a multimeter to check continuity of the coil. An open coil indicates a failed induction coil assembly that must be replaced.
- Replace module or coil: If the coil is good but the zone still does not detect pans, replace the zone's power module or combined coil/module assembly per the service manual.
Note: Mark all connectors before removal to avoid cross-connecting zones.
