Induction hobs are gaining popularity among cooking appliances on the market. They offer safer, faster, and more energy efficient cooking as well as many other benefits to its users.
However, induction hobs are not without their problems, and they can sometimes be a bit problematic. Plus, induction hob technology is still somewhat new and not something everyone is familiar with.
Here are some useful tips to resolve some of the hiccups that you may experience with your induction hob.
Using your induction hob to cook is generally straightforward; you switch on the power supply and place your cooking pot or pan on the surface to activate the hob. After which, you can alter the cooking settings on the touch control panel to suit your dish.
However, if your induction hob fails to heat up, it could be due to a power supply problem, so check if there’s any power coming out of the plug socket where you plugged it. Check for any loose connections and replace them if necessary.
Additionally, your induction hob’s voltage may not be compatible with your outlets. Consider calling an electrician to fix these electrical issues to ensure that your induction hob is working normally. Otherwise, you risk damaging your kitchen appliances.
The use of incompatible pan selection (pan diameter or material) can also lead to your induction hob not heating up even though there is power supply.
Equipped with the latest cooking technology, the induction hob is one of the most advanced cooking appliances you can find on the market. With features such as a safety sensor, power level management, pan detection, and touch control, you can use it with ease of mind.
However, there are times when the settings on your induction hob can go off on their own or shut down while you’re cooking a dish. This usually occurs when dust or dirt build-up on the coil or in the vents, which needs some cleaning before it can work again.
You simply need to remove the dust and dirt build-up on the coil or in the vents to prevent further blockages that may activate the auto-shutdown feature.
When cooking on your induction hob, noises are bound to occur because various metal components are exposed to the electromagnetic field, resulting in vibrations that make noises such as whistling sound, humming, and noise from the ventilator.
These sounds tend to diminish once you’re done cooking. But, you should still be wary of sounds that are different from the usual such as crackling sounds. Often, these noises indicate that your induction hob has come into contact with incompatible materials.
If this happens, you may be required to replace or upgrade your cookware with better construction and electromagnetic properties. If the fan is making more noise, you should contact a professional to help resolve the issue.
Unlike the burners on gas hobs, induction hobs have copper coils underneath the glass surface, which produces an electromagnetic field when energy flows through them. This enables the induction hob to heat up your cookware so that you can start cooking.
However, should there be any damage to the coils, or if there’s a crack in the glass surface of your induction hob, there may not be energy flowing between the coil and cooktop. Thus, resulting in a faulty induction hob that may affect your cooking.
Consider hiring a qualified technician to inspect and replace the coils of your induction hob as soon as possible if you suspect there’s a crack or tear in the coil.

Most induction hobs come with a touch control panel on the glass surface, which makes it easy for you to clean and maintain daily. You may need to activate the advanced features on some induction hobs using the touch control panel.
However, if you rarely clean the glass surface of your induction hob after cooking, dirt and residue can build up over time, interfering with the sensitivity of your touch control panel. You can resolve this issue by regularly cleaning the surface of your induction hob.
If your appliance won’t turn on or basic control panel functions aren’t working, this usually indicates that the control board has failed. But, sometimes, the problem is as simple as a power interruption or activated lock setting. If these two tricks don’t fix the problem, it’s time to call in the professionals to inspect your induction hob before getting it replaced.
