The NZ36K7880 is a 36-inch induction cooktop, listed on samsung.com as Induction Cooktop 36″ Virtual Flame | Flex Zone Burner. The induction coils in the NZ36K7880 are driven by power boards that must detect a suitable pan before they will heat, and the underlined u Samsung shows over a zone is that pan-detection notice – the most common reason we hear that a zone has stopped working when nothing is wrong.
Work on the NZ36K7880 begins with the breaker off and the glass cool; the top is lifted and the element or coil, its relay or power board and the touch control are measured rather than swapped.
