2 The induction stove sensor is not working

This is not a major complication and is easily solvable. The appliance is equipped with an infrared sensor. It
shuts off automatically when no cookware is detected for a few seconds. If your sensor is turned off, it could

4 The induction cooktop is not heating up

If your induction cooktop is not heating up, the food ingredients will not get heated either. Hence, it needs
immediate action. It could be due to various reasons. Maybe you are not using the right pan. Maybe there is a

the appliance does not have enough power.

Oh yes, this can be so infuriating. You are in the middle of your cooking. You haven’t turned off the appliance,
but it shuts automatically. What exactly is the reason? Perhaps you have exceeded the cooking time limit, or
the sensor cannot identify the pan (you know the reason for that). The cooktop can also overheat. It is best to
