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.
