Part One: Trouble Code And Trouble-shooting Strategies for Induction Cooktops

Publish Time: 2018-11-01     Origin: Site



The owner and chefs count on the Lestov induction cooktop for high quality and good service. Because they are electronic products, when they fail, the restaurant's business may be affected without spare parts.


So we write some Support titles to help customers. Below are introductions to trouble codes and troubleshooting strategies for 380v induction cooktops.

 

Warm tips:


-- If the problem you may experience is easy to fix, that is very nice. But again, if you need special help, please email us.  


-- At any time, welcome your engineers or technicians to visit our factory and learn more to learn more about the maintenance skills of induction cooking equipment.


 

Trouble code: E1


--Possible reasons for trouble: No Pot / no pan


--Trigger condition of trouble & Trouble-shooting strategies:



Trigger condition of trouble Trouble-shooting strategies
Power phase shortage

Check with the magnetic table tool whether the power terminal is AC 380v. Power phase shortage occurs if any measurement is about 200v. (Measure "ab," " ac," " bc" respectively .)

Bridge pile failure

Measure with Magnetic table tool; forward resistance of 1-2 and 1-3 angles should be 300-400Ω, reverse impassable. Forward resistance of the 2-3 angle should be around 600-700Ω, reverse impassable. 1-5 and 2-7 angles passable. Symmetric upper and lower deviations of 4-5 and 6-7 angles: angular resistance no greater than 10 Ω

IGBT failure

Magnetic table tool measurement of 1-2 1-3 angular forward resistance of 300-400 ohms, reverse 2-3 angle forward resistance of 600-700 ohms or so of 1-5 angle 2-7 angle conduction error of 4-5-6-7 angle resistance is not greater than 10 ohms.

Control board failure

Check the small components on the control board for any obvious shedding or damage phenomenon; if not obvious, change the control board to identify whether it is functional or not.

Drive wiring failure

Check for any obvious shedding, disconnection, or measure with a millimeter if 2 terminals are conducting.

Resistance plate failure

Check if there is any shedding, damage, or breakdown in the resistance panel. Or measure if 4-5 and 6-7 are conducting with a Magnetic table tool.

Output transformer failure or wire disconnect

Check for false welding, virtual welding, or wire breakage

Power overload

Use the submersible current meter to measure the current; whether there is a flash "intermittently heating" when the adjustment does not work.

Heat dissipation fan failure

Measure with a magnetic table tool; an AC fan has a resistance value, and a DC fan has no resistance value.

Resonant capacitance failure

Check from its appearance for any bulging or cracking; measure its capacity with a magnetic table detection tool if it is rated capacity.

 

Trouble code: E2


--Possible reasons for trouble: Coil over temperature


--Trigger condition of trouble & Trouble-shooting strategies:



Trigger condition of trouble

Trouble-shooting strategies

The fan does not work; coil sensor short-circuited.

Check if the fan works properly and if the coil sensor is short-circuited.

 


Trouble code: E3


--Possible reasons for trouble: Coil NTC failure


--Trigger condition of trouble & Trouble-shooting strategies



Trigger condition of trouble

Trouble-shooting strategies

Coil sensor open circuit

Check if the coil sensor opens circuit.



Trouble code: E4


--Possible reasons for trouble: IGBT over temperature


--Trigger condition of trouble & Trouble-shooting strategies:



Trigger condition of trouble Trouble-shooting strategies

Fan does not work properly, air access blocked, or aluminum plate sensor short-circuited.

Check if the fan of the PCB box works properly, the aluminum plate is short-circuit or the air access is blocked.

 


Trouble code: E5


--Possible reasons for trouble: IGBT NTC failure


--Trigger condition of trouble & Trouble-shooting strategies:


Trigger condition of trouble

Trouble-shooting strategies

Aluminum sensor open circuit

Check if the aluminum sensor opens the circuit.
