A cycle that takes noticeably longer than normal usually reflects load size, water temperature/pressure, or a sensor extending the cycle, not a failing motor. 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
ReversibleTime the cycle against the manufacturer's stated duration for that exact setting and load size. 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. Run the same cycle with a smaller, standard test load and normal supply conditions. 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. Adjust the load size or cycle selection, or correct the supply condition — water pressure, temperature or airflow — causing the extension.
Verify and stop safely
ReversibleRepeat the same cycle and confirm the duration returns to the expected range. Stop for cracked glass, smoke, arcing or breaker trips.
