An appliance problem limited to one cycle, load, zone or operating condition should be separated from a component that fails every time. 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
What it does not cover
Try in this order
0 of 4 completedCapture the exact failure state
ReversibleName the failing cycle, load, zone or operating condition and one safe condition that still works. 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. Change only the cycle, load, temperature, zone or installation condition while keeping the appliance setup unchanged. 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 isolated selection, loading, installation or operating condition.
Verify and stop safely
ReversibleRepeat the safe controlled cycle and compare the known-working condition. Stop for cracked glass, smoke, arcing or breaker trips.
