It has happened 3 times already.
When my wife turned on the 32amp switch for the induction hob, a spark was seen followed by a exploding sound and the power tripped.
So I called the agent that sold me the induction hob. Based on their technical support's analysis, the probably cause is a faulty PCB unit in the induction hob.
To replace the PCB cost $350 and 2 units have to be replaced in my 4 burner induction hob.
Also, the other cause could be poor ventilation for the induction hob. That one I understand cos the hob sits above my kitchen cabinet. So next time, I will open the cabinet doors when we cook.
Another probable reason is that moisture may have seeped into the induction hob due to spills.
For whatever reason, I am happy the induction hob can still be used.
Just checked out a similar 4 burner induction hob. It cost around $1699.
Seriously, I think I will replace rather than repair.....
