When an induction cooktop completely fails to turn on or heat pots, the malfunction can stem from several specific electrical or cookware compatibility issues. Common culprits include a tripped 240-volt double-pole circuit breaker at your home service panel, using incompatible aluminum or copper cookware that lacks magnetic properties, an active child lock safety feature, or a failed internal control board. You can troubleshoot induction failures easily using a magnet to test your pots. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when resetting the circuit breaker, unlocking the controls, or using induction-compatible cast iron cookware restores normal electromagnetic heating.
