Zanussi Cooktops - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Early ones could only support heating on no more than two rings because of the power draw.

Why Is the Induction Cooktop Shutting Off While Cooking?

https://primeappliancerepairs.com > blog > why-is-the-i... Feb 12, 2021 - Does your induction cooktop keep on shutting off while in use? Here are some of the reasons why it's malfunctioning - and how to fix it. https://www.google.com/search?q=Zanussi+induction+hob ...

Turn on so that all are showing L Then press - for 5 seconds when all should show 0 then turn off. Upon turning on all should be fine.

You will need three phase for this appliance to work. always unplug electricity before attempting to repair on any electrical appliance

e- stand for error. You need to look up the e error code. http://www.zanussi.co.uk/support/

can't give you much guidence - will be either regulator or the plate itself. no easy way to find out. you will have to remove the hob top and check for continuity thro the plate. ifplate is ok, then power up and check for supply to the plate. if no supply, then the regulator will be at fault

Got the same problem, and remembered I've kept the manual book
L means locked. I dont know how Ive managed to do this as well

Anyway it says:

Cancelling the key lock
After switching ON the control the child safety feature can be deactivated. Here it is necessary to simultaneously operate the front right cooking-zone-select-key and the MINUS-key and then operate the MINUS-key alone. If all steps hae been carried out in the right order within 10seconds the key lock gets cancelled and the control is OFF. Otherwise the input will be considered incomplete, the control remains locked and switches-OFF after 20 seconds.

After a renewed switching-ON/OFF key all displays show 0", the display dots are blinking and the control is ready for ooking. If a cooking zone is "hot", "H" will be displayed instead of the static 0".


Followed their instructions & still not worked. ,I am still confused and baffled after these instructions........................

Hello Horus,

The child-lock has been activated - probably accidentally, but someone may think you're not safe to use it. The de-activate the child lock . . .

1. Switch the cooktop on so all zone show "L"
2. Press both the + sign for the right-front zone and the - sign simultaneously. All four zones will show "0" with flashing decimal points.
3. Press the - sign again. The cooktop will switch off.

You can now switch the cooktop on and use it normally again.

Hope this helps. If you have any difficulty de-activating the child-lock or need further assistance, please let me know.

Regards,
BElectric.

Hi,

It is better you replace the complete selector switch on your zanussi cooker, this will be easier to get because just one might be very difficult, i will advice you check ebay.com or ereplacementparts.com for it.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

you dont need a wiring diagram, the part should be a direct replacement.. wire for wire..
if not you got the wrong part

There is a product called cerama bright (Not sure of the spelling). Specifically formulated for exactly this type of cleaning. Availible through just about anywhere (Home Depot, Lowes, Wallmart, etc) Good luck!

JUST HOLD DOWN THE CHILD LOCK BUTTON AND THE ON BUTTON SIMUTANEOUSLY FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR 2. THIS SHOULD RELEASE IT

Feel free to download a copy of your wiring diagram from http://sparepartspro.zendesk.com/entries/118713-zanussi-electric-hob

the solution is already on fixya i just tried it and it works.press the right key and the minus key at the same time release the right key hold the minus key for 10seconds and the L will disappear

OK. I know whats wrong. On your terminal I guess you only connected the Large Brown wire to the number 2 terminal ( Live ) What you have to do is bridge terminal 1 and 2 together. You may need to peel back the heavy copper brown so you can split it evenly and ensure it can reach to terminal 1 and 2 . So what you have then is one cable feeding to both 1 and 2 terminal. If you have the smaller live brown wire just connect that to terminal 2 also. That should fix your problem. I will check back to see if you have any more problems..

this is almost certainly a wiring issue at the mains connection block, there are links which have not been tightened down. there is usually a diagram adjacent to mains block telling you what to do. connection block is covered by a plate. take plate off and tighten all terminals making sure links have been inserted. switch of at mains of course

The ER42 error code typically indicates an issue related to insufficient power being delivered to the ceramic element. Check Power Supply: Ensure that the cooktop is receiving adequate power. Verify that the power supply is stable and not fluctuating. Inspect the PCB (Printed Circuit Board): Since the error points to a fault on the PCB, visually inspect the control board for any signs of damage, loose connections, or burnt components. Capacitors: You mentioned that you've already changed the capacitors. While this is a good step, it's essential to ensure that the new capacitors are correctly installed with the same rating and polarity. Reset the Cooktop: Turn off the power to the cooktop completely. Disconnect it from the mains for a few minutes, then reconnect it and power it back on. Sometimes, a reset can clear minor glitches. No joy? Consider professional repair.

It needs a new control if it has dials or a control pad or a part if it is electronic.

Child Lock function is on. https://www.google.com/search?q=Beko+H1164403T+induction+hob+child+lock ..

A) https://hobguide.com/induction-hob-cannot-detect-pan/ B) https://hobguide.com/induction-hob-not-working-on-one-side/ You are advised to not try to get into the electronics of the induction hob. Such is dangerous. The unit uses 3 phase electricity, something unlikely to be addressed by DIY activity if you want to be safe. Check your warranty. I assume this is not a matter of pans of the wrong material or size being deployed. This well may require a technician to sort out. The brand/model has not been identified so I cannot direct you to further resources. Your user manual surely provides a company name where you might seek some customer support.
