What 61 says
The left front inductor temperature sensor is too hot. This wording comes from the fault list for the earlier 30-inch induction cooktop with ceramic glass in sheet 318200282 Rev B.
The sheet’s order of work
Technician steps run from simple to part replacement. First comes ventilation, meaning the airway and the fan. Next the white isolation material is inspected; it must be intact and cover the whole inductor. Third, the sensor connection to the Induction House Assembly is verified. Fourth, a sensor resistor that is not near 1000 ohms on the blue wires at room temperature means a new inductor. Fifth, the associated generator circuit board is replaced.
