Possible Causes

Shorted IGBT on power module, Shorted induction coil, Internal short in wiring harness, Defective power module current sensing circuit

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.
