Failure – Type 1 Failure type 1 comes from the power control board. This failure will affect only one burner. The user may continue to use the other burners.

Failure – Type 2   Failure type 2 usually comes from the power control board (there could be some exceptions). These failures affect all burners associated with that power control board; the user may continue to use the burners that belong to the other power control board.

Failure – Type 3 Failure type 3 comes from the User Interface. This failure disables the entire cooktop. When this type of failure occurs, all the burners are switched Off by the User Interface.
