Induction cooktops use electromagnetic coils and power electronics — nothing like a gas or electric surface. They need specialized diagnosis.

First, the cookware itself: induction requires magnetic-bottomed pans (a magnet should stick). If compatible cookware still isn't recognized, it's a detection sensor or coil fault requiring diagnosis. We rule out cookware first — it's the no-cost explanation.
Induction faults are in power electronics — IGBT modules and control boards ($260–$560) — not simple heating elements. The trade-off is that induction systems are very reliable and rarely fail early.
Codes like E0/E1/F-series typically indicate cookware-detection, overheating, or power-module faults. They require induction-specific interpretation; we diagnose the specific code rather than guessing.
Generally yes. Induction systems are reliable and a fault usually buys many more years once correctly repaired. We give a repair-first recommendation unless multiple major modules have failed.
Often a failing cooling fan causing thermal shutdown ($160–$300), or an IGBT/power-module fault. The electronics must stay cool; when the fan fails, the cooktop protects itself by shutting down.
