Fisher & Paykel CI244DTB4 Four-Zone Induction Cooktop Repair
The CI244DTB4 puts four zones and a SmartZone pair into 24 inches of black glass, which suits an apartment kitchen, a small galley or a secondary cooktop beside a larger one. With pans set close to each other, the middle of the surface gets heavy use and the control strip catches every splash.
When one zone drops power we measure before replacing anything: a magnetic test pan on each zone, the cooling fan, then the board. Many calls end with a clearance fix in the cabinet below and a cleaning of the vents.
For SmartZone trouble, we test with a long flat pan on the paired side and read the link between the two coils. The price is in writing before we order parts, and our work is covered by a 30-day warranty.
The electronics reduce power as they warm up when airflow is poor. We check the fan and the space beneath the cooktop, then test that zone's output compared with the others.
We check pan size and placement, the control setting and the connection between the two coils on that side. If the board is the cause, we quote the replacement first.
Some locking is normal for safety, such as a child lock. If it locks or ignores touches after wiping, we clean and test it and replace the panel only if the problem remains.
