My induction cooktop won't recognize a pan. Is it broken?

Check the cookware first. Induction needs cookware with a magnetic base, and a fridge magnet that slides off the bottom means the pan won't heat. Pans much smaller than the zone may not register either. If proper cookware still isn't detected, a sensor or board fault is possible and worth diagnosing.

Can a cracked glass cooktop in my condo be repaired?

The glass usually has to be replaced, not patched. Stop using the cooktop and turn off its breaker, since spills can reach live parts through a crack. Availability of the replacement top for your model gets checked first, and the visit is scheduled once the part is confirmed.

One burner on my glass cooktop stopped working. Is it the element?

It might be. The element, its limiter or the switch or relay that powers it are all possibilities. A technician can test each part to find which one has failed before ordering anything.

My induction cooktop will not recognize my pan. Why?

Induction works only with magnetic cookware. If a magnet does not stick firmly to the base, the pan will not work. Also check that the pan covers the minimum size marked on the zone and that it sits flat on the glass.

Can I keep using my cooktop if the glass is cracked?

No. A crack can let spills reach live wiring and elements underneath and can spread under heat. Turn off the breaker and arrange a repair. Replacement glass is available for many models.

Cooktop Repair in Paradise: What's Different Here

Apartments and rentals tend toward coil-element tops on freestanding ranges. Updated condo kitchens often use smooth glass radiant or induction cooktops. Remodeled single-family homes may have gas cooktops set into islands, with the gas line and wiring reached from the cabinet below. Each style reaches its controls and connections through a different path.

Glass and induction tops are sensitive to how they're treated. Sugar spills that cool on glass can pit the surface, heavy pans dropped on an edge can crack it, and induction electronics depend on a cooling fan that pulls in airborne dust and grease. In rentals, cooktops face heavy use and rough cleaning. Gas tops in the area's houses deal with burner ports clogged by boilovers of hard tap water.

An induction cooktop in an updated condo might shut off a zone after a few minutes of searing and flash an overheating code. The pan seems fine, and the other zones work. A cooling fan clogged with grease and dust can let the electronics overheat, or an inverter board may be starting to fail. Cleaning the air intake, where it's accessible, comes first; persistent errors call for a diagnosis.

Write down any error code and which zones or burners are affected before booking. For an island gas cooktop, clear the cabinet below so the connections can be reached. A glass top with a crack shouldn't be used until it's repaired. In a condo or rental, plan the visit with the HOA or landlord, and if the cooktop doesn't detect pans, confirm the cookware works with induction.

Three different technologies under one name

A cooktop is the built-in burner surface set into a countertop, separate from the oven. It comes in three main kinds, and each fails differently. Gas cooktops use sealed burners and spark igniters. Radiant electric cooktops have heating coils under a smooth glass-ceramic surface that glow red. Induction cooktops use copper coils and electronics to create a magnetic field that heats the pan directly, leaving the glass itself relatively cool.

Because cooktops are built into the counter, they are often connected to a dedicated circuit or gas line in the cabinet below and secured with clips. That makes some problems more involved to reach than on a freestanding range, but the components themselves are similar.
