Induction hob does not detect some pans, shows low power or flashing power level but no heat.

Safety first: Normal operation issue; no internal access required for basic checks.

• Test with known good pan: Use a flat, heavy, induction-marked pan that works on other induction hobs.
• Match zone size: Use smaller pans on smaller zones to improve detection.
• Check pan base: Avoid warped or heavily scratched bases that reduce contact.

When to call a technician: If good pans are not detected on a specific zone, the coil or detection circuit may be faulty.
