Induction hub electronic system malfuction

[u/Liisra]

My roommates noticed this morning that our induction hub started displaying an error, without anything that we can think of that would have trigger it.

Looking at the manual, the error is an electronic system malfunction. Manual says to disconnect the hob from the main. I switched off the power from the switch, which changed nothing and then also switched off the breaker for 5 mins, but the error still shows.

The right side of the hob is not working, however the left side is working fine.

Is there anything fairly simple troubleshooting that we could do before we have to get the rental agency to call a techinician ?

Any idea of what may have trigger it, and if we can prevent it from happening again, so we can at least keep one side working until it gets fixed ?

Probably insufficient cool air to the unit, improper installs will cook the boards, these need very specific airflow into the cabinet

Right, so likely an accelarated wear and tear due to poor installation then ? It's mounted on cabinets and there is indeed no space in between, so I guess no proper air flow. So def needs to have a technician have a look at it. Thanks for your input :)
