Direct answer
A complete failure should be separated into power or eligibility, the external path, and the component itself before any reset. For induction cookware detection, first test a known magnetic flat pan that meets the minimum diameter.
What this covers
- induction cookware detection with this exact failure state
- Diagnosis across cookware versus zone, sensor, control lock and power
- Customer-accessible observation, settings and external components
What it does not cover
- ×A displayed manufacturer error code with a different documented meaning
- ×Live electrical, sealed-system, internal battery-cell or gas repair
- ×A claim that every model exposes identical controls
Capture the exact failure state
ReversibleRecord whether the feature is absent, disabled, powered but unresponsive, or showing a message. Expected behavior: recognize a flat magnetic pan of supported base size centered on the zone.
Isolate the component boundary
ReversibleTest a known magnetic flat pan that meets the minimum diameter. Test the simplest supported configuration with unrelated accessories and optional services removed. Boundary to separate: cookware versus zone, sensor, control lock and power.
Correct only the proven cause
ReversibleChange cookware/position or service a zone that detects no supported pan. Restore only the failed prerequisite or path; do not change working layers.
Verify and stop safely
ReversibleRepeat from a cold start and complete one normal use. Stop for cracked glass, smoke, arcing or breaker trips.

Common follow-ups
What should I check first when induction cookware detection has this problem?+
Test a known magnetic flat pan that meets the minimum diameter.
Why not factory-reset immediately?+
The useful boundary is cookware versus zone, sensor, control lock and power. A reset can erase state without proving which side failed.
When should I stop troubleshooting?+
stop for cracked glass, smoke, arcing or breaker trips.
