Electric Cooktop Noise

Topics:

  • Electric cooktop makes noise when in use.
  • Electric cooktop continues to make noise with all burners turned off.
  • Is a fan noise on an electric cooktop normal?
  • How long does it take for an electric cooktop to cool down?
  • How long does the cooling fan on an electric cooktop run?
  • How long does the surface of an electric cooktop stay hot?

Answer:

The electric cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan that automatically turns on to cool internal parts. The fan will turn off once internal temperatures have been lowered. During extended use, the cooling fan may continue to run even after the cooktop has been turned off until internal temperatures have been lowered. These noises are normal and are part of standard product use.

Several factors affect how long it takes for an electric cooktop to completely cool.
  • Ambient room temperature, temperature setting of burner, number of burners used, length of time burners used, direct sun light on unit, etc.
  • Depending on the factors, it may be possible for a unit to take a couple of hours to completely cool but can be much less.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, no further troubleshooting advice is available. Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.
