Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect from mains immediately. Do not continue using the hob as further damage or fire risk is possible.
Technical checks (qualified technician only):
- Remove the hob and inspect the induction coils and wiring for visible damage or burn marks.
- Measure resistance of each coil; a very low resistance or short to chassis indicates a fault.
- Inspect the power module for cracked or burnt IGBTs, resistors, or tracks.
- Check harnesses for insulation damage where they pass through metal openings.
Repair: Replace any shorted induction coil assemblies and the affected induction power module. After replacement, verify insulation resistance and perform a full functional test at various power levels.
