How to Fix It

  1. Confirm it is not an E0 pan detection issue

  2. Check if the zone can be activated

Frequently Asked Questions

AEG induction hob zone stopped working after the pan boiled dry — related?

Boiling a pan dry can cause rapid thermal cycling that damages the IGBT driver for that zone. This is a common cause of zone failure. The zone board needs replacement.

Can I use the hob with one dead zone while waiting for repair?

Yes — other zones are independent and safe to use. Avoid overloading remaining zones by running all at maximum power simultaneously, as this increases heat stress on the working components.

AEG induction zone dead after the hob was cleaned with a wet cloth — could cleaning cause it?

If water entered the control electronics through the panel while cleaning, it can damage a zone driver. Always clean with the hob powered off and use a barely damp (not wet) cloth.
