Fisher & Paykel CI365ZZDTB5 Two-smartzone Cooktop Service

The CI365ZZDTB5 is a 36-inch Series 7 induction cooktop with five zones and two SmartZones on black glass. It is a main cooking surface for households that cook in volume, which means long sessions with several pans running together.
Long sessions load the cooling system, so a tripped overheat protection is the first thing we rule out. We check the cabinet space, the vents and the fan, and then test each SmartZone with a long flat pan. A zone that fades after an hour is run for that same length of time on our visit so we see the drop ourselves.
The price is written down before work, and repairs include a 30-day workmanship warranty. If the cooktop shut off during a big meal, tell us how long it had been running, because that timing is a valuable clue.
Heat builds slowly under the glass. If vents are blocked or the fan is weak, the electronics reach their limit later in a long session. We test the fan and clear airflow.
No, each SmartZone works independently, so you can use one bridged area and keep the other zones separate. If either fails to join, we test that bridge on its own.
Liquid that runs under a pan reaches the touch panel and causes lockouts or phantom touches. Wipe it up when the glass is cool, and call us if the panel stays unresponsive.
