Why Is My Stove Switching Itself Off?

Do your appliances frequently stop working on their own? There are multiple factors that could cause your stove or other appliances to shut off to prevent damage. Based in Montreal, the Ateliers G Paquette team has compiled some practical tips for you here to troubleshoot your appliances before contacting us for a possible repair.

Why Are My Appliances Making Noise?

Appliances can make a host of noises – some normal, some less so. The level of concern you should have regarding the good health of your appliance strongly depends on the kind of noise it makes.

“Beeping sounds" caused by the unit locking up after a child lock has been activated – Please refer to your unit's manual for instructions on how to unlock it.

“Beeping sounds" caused by dirty tactile keys – Cleaning your stove well without the use of abrasive products should solve this issue.

Crackling noises – These noises can come from poorly wiped cooking appliances or food remains stuck under the stovetop. A thorough cleaning should eliminate this nuisance.

More serious noises and cracking appliances – These problems often occur due to the power board. If this happens, we invite you to contact Ateliers G Paquette in Montreal for a diagnostic and repair plan.

Why Are My Appliances Flashing?

Problem occurring after cooking – This kind of flashing usually indicates that the stove is still hot. The problem should disappear as the stove cools down.

The number 8 appears repeatedly on the control panel – Unplugging the unit, giving it a thorough clean and plugging it back in could very well fix this issue.

The appliance is displaying a malfunction code – This indicates a more serious internal problem. If you are faced with this issue, we recommend that you call in our Montreal technicians to rectify the problem.

My Appliances Are Switching Themselves Off

These problems are usually more complex and require the intervention of our technicians. The potential causes of this type of problem include:

• traces of water or food on the appliance

• a ventilator problem causing a lack of air circulation

• a damaged power board

My Induction Stove Is No Longer Switching On

If you are under warranty, we strongly recommend that you call our technicians for this type of problem. The cause of this problem may be:

• a wrongly plugged-in stove

• an issue with a circuit breaker

• damaged wiring

• loose screws

• a damaged terminal unit

• a power board out of order

My Stove Seems Stuck on Safe Mode

Your stove can put itself on safe mode if the installation conditions are not met. There are several solutions to this problem:

If this is an uncommon problem, unplug your plate before plugging it back in.

For more frequent problems, follow the instructions on the guide of your appliance to see how to deactivate the safe mode. You no longer have the guide? You can search for a digital guide online. If needed, contact us and our technicians will take care of everything!

Other Common Causes of Induction Stove Breakdowns

Since built-in stoves are sensitive to electromagnetic fields, they can fail if installed above appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers.

A lack of ventilation at the front and rear of the stove can also cause issues that are easy to remediate.
