Quick Answer

Check cookware compatibility first. If it’s a real coil/module failure, repair almost always wins.

Induction cooktop not working? Here’s the real distinction before you assume it’s a hardware failure.

3 Things That Decide This

  1. Cookware compatibility. Burner won’t activate with certain pans but works with others — that’s cookware, not hardware.
  2. Real coil failure. A magnet won’t stick to your cookware’s bottom if it’s the wrong type — rule that out first.
  3. Replacement cost. $800-1,800+ new keeps repair the better value in most real hardware failures.

Ballpark Pricing: $190–$380 for coil/module repair.

Bottom Line: Check cookware compatibility first. If it’s a real coil/module failure, repair almost always wins.
