NIT5663UC

Most common issues on this model

1. A breaker that trips because the circuit was sized for an older, lower-rated appliance
2. Power sharing that cuts output when several zones are at maximum
3. Heavy pans set down hard and cracking the glass

Circuit size is the question we ask first about the NIT5663UC. Bosch lists it in the 500 Series at 36 inches, with Home Connect and a 37 inch glass top. A wider induction surface holds more power modules beneath it, so it also asks more of the electrical supply.

It needs a correctly rated dedicated circuit. Often the tripped breaker traces back to an installation wired for the old electric cooktop that was removed, since that wiring was sized for something with a lower rating. In that case the cooktop is innocent, and replacing it will not help.

Zones also share power, so several at maximum can reduce the output of some, and glass can crack if a heavy pan is dropped onto it. At a visit we ask which zones were running when the breaker tripped, check the rating of the circuit, and test the cooktop under a real load.
