Griddles and fish kettles are what owners of the NIT8661UC buy it for. It is the 36 inch 800 Series induction cooktop, on 37 inch glass with Home Connect, and on a top this wide the zones can be bridged into one long area.
The bridging is arranged in software over separate coil modules, so a bridged area can stop working as one zone while the other half carries on. We treat that lopsided behavior as a clue and not a puzzle: it tells us the problem is in one module, not in the whole cooktop.
Because each coil module is independent, a single cooking position can fail without taking down the rest. Heavy pans are the other thing to watch, since they can chip the glass edge where it meets the countertop. When we visit we test the zones separately and bridged, which separates a module problem from a setup one.
It points to one coil module and not the whole cooktop. We test the zones singly and bridged to confirm which has failed before recommending a part.
Not necessarily. Each cooking position has its own coil module, so a repair can often target the one that failed. We give a written price once we know.
Lift heavy pans on and off instead of sliding or dropping them, especially near the edge where the glass meets the counter. Chips there can spread, so tell us if you notice one.
