Repair guidance / LG / BR1
An induction zone does not recognise a pan
Describe whether the same pan works on another suitable zone and whether other compatible pans are affected. Pan suitability and zone operation need separating. Do not remove the glass or access power electronics to investigate recognition warnings.
A different pattern: touch controls do not respond
Note whether the panel is dark, shows a lock symbol or reacts without changing the heat setting. A normal user lock procedure is model-specific. Do not apply cleaning liquid to a powered control area or assume a new control module is needed from the symptom alone.
Equipment sharing space with other fittings
Mention stacked equipment, adjacent storage or a cupboard arrangement that limits access. An external picture can be useful. Leave the surrounding fittings in place until the person assessing the job confirms what access is required.
Identify this LG model
Record the full model and serial number and whether the symptom appears during washing, draining or spinning.
Bromley and the full address
Send the full postcode and entry details with the Bromley address. If the equipment is in a flat, describe the route from the entrance to the room. Address and access are checked before a Monday–Thursday appointment is confirmed.
Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “an induction zone does not recognise a pan”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “an induction zone does not recognise a pan”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “touch controls do not respond”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Bromley postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “touch controls do not respond” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — equipment sharing space with other fittings — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
