Re: AEG C68000KF induction hob flickering f
To conclude, I’ve given up and bought a replacement.
Does anyone where old induction hobs are laid to rest? For my own satisfaction I would like to scavenge parts and attempt a repair.
Re: INDUCTION HOBS
Induction hobs are very nice, until they need to be repaired I have just discovered. Trouble-shooting the electronics is non-trivial and replacement PCBs, etc., aren’t always available. On the plus side, my new £466 AEG 68002KFN is half the price of my failed seven years old 68000KFN.
Re: AEG C68000KF induction hob flickering f
Well, a Service Force engineer has been and gone. He didn’t diagnose a fault but I did later receive a telephone call from a non-technical person at the company saying that I needed a new ‘module’, at a cost equivalent to two new hobs! Whether the engineer did research the problem after he left, or whether the company just preferred to not undertake the repair, I don’t know.
So, would someone who has access to parts lists please post what modules are available, and at what cost, so that I might guess which one corresponds to the PCB that I want to replace.
Cheers.
Re: AEG C68000KF induction hob flickering f
The hob has deteriorated further and now doesn’t heat at all, but displays a constant f with compatible cookware on any zone. Is this a clue as to what’s going on? Are replacement circuit boards even available? The AEG website is useless…
Re: AEG C68000KF induction hob flickering f
Having more disassembled the hob I can ID the PCBS. 629.901-02 & 629.902-02 on either side of the heat sink power the zones and sense the cookware. Since all zones are similarly faulty presumably these boards are OK. 629.890-01 on the reverse of the surface plate handles the human interface. That leaves 629.914-03, to which the other PCBs communicate. It is stuffed with surface mounted components and presumably is the control module. Can I trouble-shoot this? Is a replacement available?
