Faulty Amzchef Dual Induction Hob - Error E0 | Can I Fix It??
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this episode we're going to be taking a look at a faulty Amzchef dual induction hob. I paid £13 for it + postage and the seller described it as "Powers up ok, and the fans work perfectly. Displays E0 and does not heat up."
Let's take it apart, see if we can diagnose the problem and hopefully repair it!
Mains powered items such as this can contain high voltages which could lead to electrical shock, injury or even death. Please don't copy anything you see, as I may do things that are dangerous and unsafe.
I'm not an expert, but I do enjoy trying to fix things.

The E0 is normally thrown by these hobs when someone tries to use a pan that is not suitable for induction hobs, eg aluminium. Good to see the hob also had a genuine fault. Well done for spotting it that wasn't easy to see

Error E0 is shown when non-induction cookware is used. To test a pan use a magnet. If the pan is non-magnetic it will cause the E0 error. Nice fix! Cheers
