Possible Causes
Cookware base construction causing vibration, Loose mounting hardware under cooktop, Induction coil resonance at certain loads
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the cooktop before adjusting cookware or mounting hardware.
- Change cookware: Try a different pan of similar size. Heavy, flat-bottomed pans with layered bases often reduce noise.
- Adjust power level: Reduce the power setting slightly. Many induction systems are noisiest at maximum boost.
- Check mounting: From under the counter, verify that the cooktop is securely fastened and not vibrating against the countertop cutout. Tighten mounting brackets as needed.
- Normal operation: Some humming is normal with induction. Only pursue service if the noise is excessive or accompanied by performance issues.
