The failure you repaired on your stove is exactly the same recent failure on mine. I'm not an electrical engineer (ME, actually) but watching your video was all I needed to do my own repair. After testing as you showed to verify the failed components I bought replacements (IGBT, bridge rectifier, fuse and heatsink grease) at Digikey (all in stock) for a fraction of the cost for replacement parts available through just about any online parts distributor (one wanted $106 for just the fuse!). Thank you so much!

[@rca523]

What are the specs for the smt components that you replaced?

[@crazygravy437]

Thanks now I know to just buy another cook top :(

[@danielrickey]

That's not a bad approach. Give the old one to someone who repairs electronics and point them to this video.

[@danielrickey]

I had exactly the same failure and did the same repair. This repair should only be done by someone with the tools and experience for small surface-mount parts. Even then it's a bit tedious. I used the good board as a reference and replaced four surface-mount transistors, nine resistors and a driver IC. Here is a list of the parts I used. IGBT 497-5741-ND STGW39NC60VD Bridge Rectifier GSIB2560-E3/45GI-ND, GSIB2560-E3/45 Fuse Ceramic 25A F4829-ND, 0314025.MXP PNP Transistor 1727-PMBT2907A-QRCT-ND, PMBT2907A-QR, SOT23 NPN Transistor MMBT4401TPMSCT-ND, MMBT4401-TP SOT23 Gate Driver Half-Bridge 497-14773-5-ND, L6388ED 8SO Resistor 15 OHM P15.0CCT-ND, ERJ-6ENF15R0V, 1/8W 0805 Resistor 39 OHM P39ADCT-ND, ERJ-P06J390V, 1/2W 0805 Resistor 10 OHM P10.0CCT-ND, ERJ-6ENF10R0V, 1/8W 0805 Resistor 47 OHM P47ACT-ND, ERJ-6GEYJ470V, 1/8W 0805 Resistor 10K OHM P10KGCT-ND, ERJ-3GEYJ103V, 1/10W 0603 (did not replace) There are some diodes but these seemed to be fine

Other than the power IGBT's and the rectifier , how did you know to replace the other items assuming they visually checked fine? I have the 36", 5 burner model. I had the large middle and both RHS burners go out. Replaced the IGBT's and bridges in two of the 3 boards and got the unit running, but when placing a pot on the large middle burner it error's codes C81 on the large, and bottom RHS burners and F63 on the top RHS burner after 10 sec. The middle burner will provide heat before it errors things out. I can't locate what these error codes even mean. The two smaller burners are taken out when the error codes display. If I power the unit off at the stove and power back on everything is back to normal but then errors out every time using the large burner only. This one will be challenging to diagnose

[@natalijamoukminov9338]

Nice, mine is the same. I have already replaced about the same amount, and some are sooo tiny. Still looking for yet another one thats bad so my search continues...

[@MrConnor128]

Great video, thanks! I have this exact problem. Similar to the other requests, can you please list the SMD components? Resister values, and transistor types

[@fish0741]

What are u putting on the solder terminal's in the syringe ?

[@bluetorch13]

a little late, but soldering paste. It's like solder wire but liquid.

[@user-jr4uv4tw9c]

Thanks for yhe video. What about the SMD resistors value and transistor type?

[@drumcrazycrary]

Great video...I have a kitchen aid induction double oven .. Wh we turn on the burners they make a loud buzzing type noise on all burners . Do you know what's causing this?

[@natalijamoukminov9338]

the magnetic field is being created, it is normal - all induction cooktops make sound

[@drumcrazycrary]

@@natalijamoukminov9338 mine is a little louder than normal. What does that mean?

[@jackiewilson8000]

Where can I get boards repaired, with having them replaced ? Thanks

[@kaejolie]

Ok. I have the same exact problem. The same IGBT transistors and diode bridge on the left board are shorted. I think I can fix those. But what about the SMD resistors and transistor? How do I verify they're bad? I am not seeing any cracks. How hard was it to replace them? They are very tiny! Also, could you send me the part numbers for the IGBT transistors, diode bridge and fuse, and where I can purchase them? Thanks in advance!

[@danielrickey]

It's not an easy repair. See my other comment for a list of the parts I used. It should only be done by someone with lots of experience with small surface-mount components. They will need the right tools too. I tried hot air but this board was easy to damage, i.e., blister. Using two soldering irons worked well to remove the resistors.

[@Erik-mf2gn]

Use a Huntron Tracker to compare the transistors with the mirror image side of the circuit board. Usually only 1 pair of MOSFETs and driver circuitry fail, so you can take the pattern readings with the Huntron Tracker from the other 2 MOSFETs mounted on the same heat sink for comparison. If the image pattern does not match, then that surface mount component is most likely defective. Usually you will find 3 surface mount resistors defective, 2 NPN and 1 PNP surface mount transistors defective, 1 surface mount diode defective, 2 MOSFETs shorted, 1 bridge rectifier shorted.

[@damongold]

NEVER work on an appliance with an impact!! always use a clutched tool!! your techniques however are some of the best i've seen on YT, clean thorough, and you explain the process clearly, but an impact, and using extensions on the impact? yikes. always treat your customers appliances respectfully.

[@antoinetronel3769]

Many many thanks for your video. Thanks to you I fix my kitchenaid khip3 today : 2 burners on 3 works……but….! F12 error code on one burner. Resistors and transistors are very small. Any video of the replacement ?🙏 How do you test them ? How do you remove them ? Really need your final help please…🙏

[@leroydalton173]

Who does repairs on these boards please?

[@moogs5992]

Most repair companies I know (including mine) will not do this and will just replace the entire 1000$ board unfortunately. Most people with the drive and knowledge to troubleshoot transistors and diodes and shit are not in the repair sector.

[@kaejolie]

you have same range as mine. What is the amperage of the fuse? 25A or 0.25A? Please reply.

[@ApplianceRepairinColorado]

25A

[@kaejolie]

@@ApplianceRepairinColorado Thanks a bunch!

[@MollyPaul06]

How do I contact you to ask you a question

[@vickjandu9354]

Is whirl pool the same ?? Do they have fuses for there induction stove tops ??? Can anyone here help me please

[@ApplianceRepairinColorado]

Yes, it should be the same

[@sergeyberesan5411]

Very bad repair, check everything at once.Then repair the damage.Fuse 15A doesn't just burn.
