Fisher & Paykel CI122DTB4 Two-Zone Induction Cooktop Service
A 12-inch cooktop like the CI122DTB4 is the secondary surface in a kitchen, set in the counter beside a larger cooktop or on a small island prep area. Two zones in 12 inches leave little room, so pans crowd the control strip and splashes land on the touch panel more than on a wider layout.
When a zone loses power during a long simmer or a hard boil, we look at heat first. The unit protects itself by cutting output, so we examine the cutout airflow and fan before suspecting the coil. Then we run each zone with a magnetic test pan and try the SmartZone bridge across both.
The price is written down before work starts, and repairs include a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Not necessarily. Water film or sauce residue confuses touch sensors, and the panel locks out for safety. We dry and clean the glass, retest, and replace the control only when it still misbehaves.
We check whether the unit is throttling for heat, which points to airflow or the cooling fan under the glass, then test the zone coil and its power stage. Pot size and base shape also affect output.
The SmartZone feature joins the two zones for a large flat-bottom pan, and a griddle with a magnetic base works. If it will not bridge, we check pan coverage, settings and the board link.
