Induction Hob Not Working

2026-05-221 min read

Pan Compatibility and Error Codes

Induction hobs only work with ferromagnetic pans. Hold a magnet to the base — if it does not stick, the pan is incompatible. F0/E0 means no pan detected. F1/E1 means overheating — check ventilation gaps. F2/E2 points to a faulty sensor.

Ventilation and When to Call

Hobs need 50–70mm clearance below and around the unit. Blocked vents cause overheating and safety cut-outs. If pan compatibility, codes and ventilation are all correct but the hob still will not heat, you likely have an internal board or wiring fault that needs an engineer.

Induction hob still playing up? Our local engineer covers all Kent towns with same-day hob diagnostics and repairs. All brands, fixed quotes, 3-month warranty.
