Induction cooker does not see cookware

Indeed, sometimes it happens that when purchasing a new induction cooker, the cookware may not be recognized. But what to do in such situations? This kind of malfunction will be discussed in this article.

What kind of cookware can an induction cooker see?

Let's dwell on the moment - what kind of material is recognized by the device?

• Firstly, it must consume energy from the vortex field as efficiently as possible. Steel is ideal for this parameter.
• Secondly, the product must fit tightly to the surface of the slab.

It is best if the mold is made of stainless steel. It will also work great if you use cast iron or other magnetic metals.

In addition to the material, it is advisable to pay attention to special characteristics. These include:

1. A certain thickness of the bottom. The best option would be parameters of at least three millimeters.
2. The diameter of the bowl should also have a corresponding indicator - more than 12 centimeters.
3. The surface of the lower part itself must be smooth and even.

Therefore, when purchasing, it is recommended to look at the product carefully and not miss the little details in the indicators.

What kind of cookware does the induction cooker not see?

As mentioned above, the dishes must have magnetic properties, otherwise recognition will not take place. If you use products that do not have these qualities, the stove will not work at all. It happens that the structure does not see a stainless steel container, although in theory it should. This means that the composition of the product is collected from several different samples, that is, it is collected from impurities. And for some of them it is not typical to be magnetic.

On a note!

Copper, aluminum, glass, and ceramic products are not recognized by most induction cookers.

In addition to the composition, the reason may be inappropriate dimensions - size and shape. If there are roughness and unevenness at the bottom, then this is the source of the defect. Therefore, the dishes must meet the described requirements.

Possible breakdowns when the induction cooker does not see suitable cookware

However, even if you take into account all the recommendations, it happens that the device still does not see the dishes. Most likely the problem is not in the dishes. In this case, the reasons may be as follows:

• Maybe the unit does not support some alloys initially.
• If the burner on the left side does not work, then there is a problem with the wires. The right one is with contacts.
• When the side does not work, there is a possibility that the connecting connector has failed.
• The cause may also be significant contamination, in which the sensor cannot recognize the presence of an object on the surface.
• A breakdown can also occur in the temperature sensor. Because of this, residual heat is not displayed.
• In addition, it is worth checking the control unit.
• There is a possibility that the induction model does not adhere sufficiently to the tile panel.

On a note!

You can use a magnet to check the operation of the burner..

What to do if the induction cooker does not see the dishes

First of all, it is necessary to determine why this is happening. Based on the cause of the malfunction, take further action. To do this, it is recommended to run special programs to test the device for functionality.

• Of course, the first thing to do is to check the body of the cookware, whether it is intended to interact with a kitchen appliance or not. That is, you should find a special designation on it.
• If the connection is not complete, the distance should be adjusted using springs.
• You will have to replace the temperature sensor if the source of the defect is in it.
• To be completely convinced that the defect has been correctly identified and eliminated, it is advisable to contact a special service.
