Why Has My Induction Hob Locked?
A hob may lock for a number of reasons. You may find that it’s one burner or the whole cooktop. A hob may lock due to an automatic element in the induction system, or it may be due to an electrical issue.
Induction stoves have a child lock mode, and sometimes this causes them to lock. If there is a substance leakage on the board or keyboard, then it may cause the touchscreen recognition to start malfunctioning.
It may also be the cookware you have decided to use, and the model of your hob may not be able to recognize that specific pot or pan. Your cookware should be made of stainless steel or iron.
