Common Induction Hob Problems and How Glotech Repairs Can Help

Induction hobs are fast, efficient, and increasingly popular in modern kitchens. However, they can develop faults over time that affect performance or safety. Knowing the most common issues—and how to address them—can save frustration and prevent minor problems from becoming major repairs. With over 50 years of experience, Glotech Repairs helps homes across the UK get their induction hobs back to full working order quickly and reliably.

Common Induction Hob Issues

1. Hob won’t turn on
If your induction hob doesn’t power up, it could be due to a faulty power supply, blown fuse, or internal control board fault. Checking the mains supply is a simple first step, but persistent problems require professional inspection.

2. Burners not heating or heating unevenly
If one or more zones fail to heat or are inconsistent, this may be caused by a faulty induction coil, sensor, or faulty electronics. Ensuring your cookware is compatible with induction can sometimes resolve minor issues.

3. Error codes displayed
Modern induction hobs often show codes to indicate specific faults:

• E0 / E1 – Sensor or communication fault
• E2 – Overheating detected
• E3 / F3 – Internal electronics fault
• E4 / F4 – Voltage or power supply issue

4. Hob making unusual noises
Buzzing, humming, or clicking sounds are sometimes normal, but loud or persistent noises may indicate a problem with the fan, coil, or internal electronics.

5. Touch controls unresponsive
If the touch controls fail, the cause could be dirt, moisture, or a failing control board. Cleaning the panel carefully may help, but ongoing problems require an engineer.

Quick Checks You Can Try

• Ensure the hob is properly connected to the mains and the supply is switched on.
• Confirm your cookware is induction-compatible.
• Wipe the touch controls clean and dry.
• Reset the hob by switching off the power at the wall for a few minutes.

If these steps don’t fix the problem, arranging a visit from a qualified engineer is the safest way to restore performance and protect your appliance.
