turn off the appliance and take a break. The heat sensor may have detected something fishy going on in the
internals. A quick restart might fix the issue, but if it doesn’t, it would be best if you get the cooktop checked.
6 The induction cooktop is not responding to touch

In case your induction cooktop does not respond to touch, it could be due to three reasons. Number one, your
touch has switched it to lock mode by mistake. Unlock it. Number two, your appliance is not getting enough
power. Check your power source to solve the issue. Number three, there is a fault in the circuit board of your
appliance. This circuit board is placed right below the touch. In this case, you cannot fix it by yourself. It would
be best if you consult a skilled professional.
7 Food is getting burned, or food is getting cooked unevenly

Wondering why is your food getting burned on the induction cooktop? It could be because your cookware is
pretty light in weight and is getting heated up too quickly. So, the issue is not with the cooktop but with the
cookware. Change it. In the case of uneven cooking, the fault is most likely in the vessel. The lightweight ones
usually do not heat up evenly. You also need to ensure that the vessel covers the cooking zone perfectly. So,
indulge in the right size vessel. Note that your cookware must also have a ferromagnetic bottom.
8 Food not getting cooked on an induction cooktop
Yes, this is one of the most common induction cooktop problems. I have come across people with this issue.
They have given enough time for the food to get cooked. But there is no reaction. What’s the reason? The
cooking setting is likely not right. There is a reason why the cooktop is equipped with different cook settings.
