Asko Intermittent Pan Detection / Load Instability

Induction zone cycles on and off rapidly, or the power level seems unstable.

Possible Causes

Warped or uneven cookware, cookware with a layered or sandwich base causing inconsistent detection, zone operating at very low power with an oversized pan, marginal pan detection circuit on power module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure cookware and glass are cool before changing pans.

  • Try different cookware: Use a high-quality, flat-bottomed induction-compatible pan, and test the same zone.
  • Adjust power level: Increase the power setting slightly to see if cycling stabilizes; some zones cycle more at very low settings.
  • Test other zones: If the issue occurs only on one zone with multiple pans, the power module for that zone may be marginal and require replacement.
  • Check installation: Ensure the cooktop is mounted flat and not flexing, which can affect coil-to-glass spacing and detection.

Persistent instability with good cookware usually points to an internal electronics issue.
