Product Information

If this noise is a lot louder, there may be an issue with the fan. In that case, an engineer is needed. So, let’s take a look at induction hobs and the common problems that occur and see what the simple solutions are, shall we? 1. Induction hob isn’t starting up

This is, in fact, one of the great things about induction hobs. If you happen to leave a plate or a dish on the hob, and it accidentally turns on, or you forget to turn it off, you do not have to worry about the plate of dish breaking. The hob will not heat up, as the magnetic field will not be complete (unlike a gas or electric hob). The induction hob will not turn on as long as your pots and pans do not have magnetic bases.Eager to get your induction hob working again? Some fixes can range from effortlessly simple to pretty frustrating. Let’s dive into the technical aspects of what might be going on with your new induction hob if it is having problems detecting a pan. 1. Your Pan Isn’t Made of Ferrous Metal As a hob owner, knowing the basics of troubleshooting a broken induction hob can save you from frustration. Of course, that can also be quite the pain, as if you have invested in a new induction hob and none of your pans work– it’s time to buy a whole new set! However, given the time and money that you will save on an induction hob in the long run, it will absolutely be worth it. Conclusion Solution: This is perfectly normal. When you use the boost function on an induction hob, that power has to come from somewhere. Your induction hob will need to use some of the energy from the other hob rings to boost the power of the one that you require boosting. Solution: If you are hearing a low-level humming noise coming from your induction hob, this is perfectly normal. There is a fan inside induction hobs to keep the electrical components cool.

Ease of use: We looked for practical, straightforward and intuitive hobs. Any elements that felt overcomplicated or in any way confusing meant the hob was marked down. Of course, forgetting to turn off an induction hob isn’t the end of the world as a long as a pan isn’t on the stove, it shouldn’t still be “on”. Just turn the hob off, and the lights should stop blinking. While induction hobs can break down, there might be a straightforward solution to your induction hob issues below.

1. Your Pan Isn’t Made of Ferrous Metal

Cost to run: We asked whether the induction hob was costly or relatively cheap to run based on our 10 minute pasta-boiling test.

Give your control panel a thorough wipe down if your induction hob cannot detect a pan, sometimes that’s all it takes to get things working again. Summing up Chances are you probably know all there is to know about Currys, but if you don’t then here’s a little more detail about them.

6. Food isn’t cooking evenly

The only way to inspect for this type of damage is to remove your cooktop’s glass surface. This is something that should be done by a qualified professional because you could cause further damage to the hob or injure yourself. 6. Your Hob’s Power Board Is Defective As you can see, the reasons why an induction hob may not be working can range from simply using the wrong pan to a more complicated manufacturer defect. The electromagnetic field created during induction cooking needs electricity to work. If the power source connected to your hob isn’t reliable, your hob may not turn on.

Your hob simply won’t turn on if it doesn’t have the right pan. Confirm that the pan you’re cooking with is an induction-compatible pan by looking for the induction symbol on the bottom (most induction pans have this). Solution: Some induction hob models have built-in LED lights that flash when you have forgotten to turn the hob off. A broken coil under the glass isn’t the only likely source of malfunction for an induction hob. It’s also possible that your hob’s circuit board is the culprit.

There’s Debris or Grease on Your Control Panel If a pan is too small, then the hob won’t recognise it, and so you’ll need to either use another ring or another pan.
