Troubleshooting Guide
This issue may stem from using incompatible cookware or a pan that is too small for the element. Ensure the pan is properly centered within the designated cooking zone. Consult the manufacturer documentation for specific pan size requirements.
The surface unit may not detect the pan if it is improperly placed or if the cooktop control is not set correctly. Verify that the pan is centered on the surface element. Refer to the official guidance for correct control settings.
This situation can occur when power sharing is active between two elements or if the cooktop temperature becomes too high. Check if power is being shared between elements and allow the internal fan to cool the cooktop. The diagnostic reference provides details on power sharing.
A low humming noise is normal when using induction coils, especially at higher power settings. This can also be influenced by the amount of content in the pans. Ensure that water is not trapped under the pan, which can cause vibration. The configuration details can offer further insight.
