Common reasons why commercial induction cookers don’t work and detailed solutions

As an important piece of equipment in modern kitchens, commercial induction cookers are widely welcomed for their high efficiency and convenience. However, it often happens that the induction cooker does not work during use, which may be due to a variety of reasons. Below, we will introduce in detail the common reasons and solutions for commercial induction cookers not working, to help you quickly restore the normal use of induction cookers.

1. Power failure

Power failure is one of the most common reasons why your induction cooktop won't work. When the induction cooker is not connected to a power source or the plug is loose, it will not start.

Solution:

Check the power socket: First, check whether the power socket has power. You can test whether the socket is working properly by plugging in other electrical devices.

Check the induction cooker plug: Make sure the induction cooker plug is firmly connected and not loose or damaged.

Check extension cords and power strips: If you use extension cords or power strips, check that they are in working order and not damaged or deteriorated.

2. The pots and pans do not match

Induction cookers heat through electromagnetic induction. If the pot material used is not suitable (such as aluminum, copper, glass and other non-magnetic materials), the induction cooker will not be able to sense the pot and will not work.

Solution:

Choose pots suitable for induction cookers: Use iron, stainless steel and other magnetic pots, making sure the bottom of the pot is flat and in good contact with the induction cooker.

Check the bottom of the pot: Make sure there are no scratches, dents or stains on the bottom of the pot, which can affect the induction effect of the induction cooktop.

3. Overheat protection starts

The induction cooker has a built-in overheat protection function. When the internal temperature is too high, the induction cooker will automatically shut down to prevent damage. This usually occurs during prolonged high power use or poor ventilation.

Solution:

Let the induction cooktop cool down: Turn off the induction cooktop and let it cool down naturally for a few minutes.

Check the ventilation: Make sure there is enough ventilation space around the induction cooker, and clean the dust and debris from the vents and heat sinks.

Adjust usage: If overheating protection occurs frequently, the power should be reduced or the usage time should be shortened to avoid long-term high-power operation.

4. Internal component failure

Failure of the internal components of the induction cooker, such as circuit boards, coils, thermostats, etc., can also cause the equipment to not work. This condition usually requires professional repair.

Solution:

Contact professional maintenance personnel: If the induction cooker still does not work after eliminating the above reasons, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel for inspection and repair.

Avoid disassembly by yourself: Never disassemble the induction cooker by yourself to avoid causing more serious damage or safety hazards.

5. Error code display

Induction cooktops will often display error codes when malfunctioning, which can indicate a specific problem such as overheating, low voltage, or an internal error.

Solution:

Consult the user manual: Consult the induction cooker user manual to find the corresponding error code description.

Operate according to the manual: Operate according to the solutions provided in the manual. If the solution cannot be solved, contact professional maintenance personnel for help.

6. The power supply voltage is unstable

Induction cookers have high requirements for power supply voltage. If the voltage is too high or too low, it will affect the normal operation of the induction cooker.

Solution:

Check the power supply voltage: Use a voltmeter to check whether the power supply voltage is within the range specified by the induction cooker.

Use a voltage stabilizer: If the voltage is unstable, you can use a voltage stabilizer to stabilize the voltage and ensure the normal operation of the induction cooker.

In summary, commercial induction cooktops not working can be caused by a variety of reasons. By carefully checking aspects such as power, pot, ventilation, and fault codes, we can troubleshoot common problems and restore normal operation of your induction cooktop. If the problem cannot be solved, it is recommended to seek help from professional maintenance personnel to ensure the safe use of the device.
