Fisher & Paykel CI122DB1 12-Inch Induction Cooktop Repair

Fisher & Paykel cooktop

Most common issues on this model

  1. One element not detecting the pan
  2. Touch controls dead after a spill
  3. Overheat shutdown from poor airflow under the unit
  4. SmartZone not bridging the two elements

The CI122DB1 is a narrow companion unit, so it normally sits in the counter next to a wider cooktop, sharing one run of black glass. Because it lives beside a main surface, it catches the overflow of everything cooked next door, and boil-over under the control strip is a frequent reason for a call.

Induction heat comes from coils under the glass, and the electronics below them need air to stay cool. We check the cabinet space under the unit for stored pans or a blocked cutout, then test pan detection on each element and the SmartZone link. A pan with a warped base can look like a dead element, so we bring our own test cookware.

You get a written price before any part is ordered, and the work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

CI122DB1CI122DB1 questions
The two elements will not join into one large zone. What do you test?

We confirm the pan covers both elements, then check the SmartZone setting on the control. If the link still fails, we test each element's detection and the power board behind them, and quote the repair before touching anything.

Why does my CI122DB1 stop heating after a few minutes of boiling?

Induction electronics shut down to protect themselves when they run hot. We look for blocked air space under the cutout, test the cooling fan and read the board temperature, then tell you which of those needs attention.

Will my old aluminum pot work on this cooktop?

Induction needs a magnetic base, so plain aluminum or copper will not register. Hold a magnet to the bottom of the pot: if it grips, the pot works. We run a pan test during every visit.
