An appliance problem starting right after a house move, a new detergent or additive, or a water/gas/power supply change should be checked against that specific change first. For induction cookware detection, first test a known magnetic flat pan that meets the minimum diameter.
What this covers
- induction cookware detection with this exact failure state
- Diagnosis across cookware versus zone, sensor, control lock and power

0 of 4 completedCapture the exact failure state
ReversibleNote exactly what changed — installation, supply type or product used — and confirm it worked immediately before. Expected behavior: recognize a flat magnetic pan of supported base size centered on the zone.
Isolate the component boundary
ReversibleTest a known magnetic flat pan that meets the minimum diameter. Test with the previous product or a factory-recommended one, or verify the new supply connection matches the appliance's requirements. Boundary to separate: cookware versus zone, sensor, control lock and power.
Correct only the proven cause
ReversibleChange cookware/position or service a zone that detects no supported pan. Correct the installation, switch back to a compatible product, or arrange service for a supply mismatch that cannot be user-corrected.
Verify and stop safely
ReversibleRun one complete normal cycle under the new conditions and confirm normal results. Stop for cracked glass, smoke, arcing or breaker trips.
