In reply to Shiva.

Please check for bad capacitors (large black ones) and also the coil. If the induction coil is heavily corroded or blackened, the induction might not take place properly and the uController will stop the pulse generation, sensing the current.

In reply to Parasuraman.

Understood dear Parasuraman. Wasn't thinking about that at all because Santa Claus is also still a bit too soon now.
Today I bought a couple of those FGA25N120 for future repairs on Induction Cookers like yours. Always a good idea to have these special components at hand.

The reply was to Mr Teak, who commented that my satisfaction bag might be bigger than that of Father Christmas. SC stands for Christmas Father, Santa Claus!

In reply to beh.

Hi Beh, it were not the e-caps that caused any problem before. So there was really no need to replace the e-caps just yet (I mainly replace parts only if the device requires a full rework to get it working again. Or if the results improve afterwards like in Audio- or Video Amplifiers). It just was the IGBT that needed to be replaced. Caused by the other repaired induction cooker that induced energy to this now repaired cooker. But I have no idea what Parasuraman meant with : "SC might ask for it for distribution in the coming yearly event".
