We would rather publish that than sell the visit: two pans and two zones cost nothing, and they settle the question either way in about a minute. ### What actually goes wrong - **A generator overheating.** One module, one zone, and usually something hot underneath the counter. - **A pan the surface cannot read.** Not a repair at all. - **Controls locked by water.** Dry the panel; cut power for thirty seconds. - **A generator that has genuinely failed.** The part that sets the “from” on this job. ### One thing worth knowing about induction The generator under the glass is a power electronics module, and the same module is fitted under several makes’ cooktops. A code on an induction surface therefore belongs to the module rather than to the badge on the front — which is why an induction figure is closer between brands than anything else we quote. What this involves Pan and placement ruled out first Zone shutdowns traced to what is under the counter Generator modules named rather than "the cooktop" Two pans, two zones Induction reads the base of the pan, not where it is standing. Trying the same pan on another zone and another pan on the same zone settles most of these in a minute, at no cost. What is running underneath A zone that shuts down mid-cook has overheated, and in a Miami kitchen the reason is very often an oven running below it. Both appliances are behaving; the installation is the problem. Read the zone, not the cooktop Each zone has a generator of its own that reports for itself, so "the cooktop is broken" is usually one module. That is a smaller part and a smaller bill. Dry, then power-cycle, then measure A wet panel reads as a hundred fingers. Only once the glass is dry and the appliance has been off at the breaker for thirty seconds does a dead control mean anything.
