Why can an induction range's ovens work while its hob does not?

The functions are controlled differently and can have separate faults or operating restrictions. Working ovens do not establish that the induction system is healthy.

What the observation means

A locked hob, pan-recognition issue and complete loss of hob power are distinct observations. Keep the hob display and affected zones separate from the oven's behaviour.

A useful next step

Check only normal owner controls and compatible cookware. Report whether the hob is blank, displays a warning or refuses a particular pan. Do not open the range to compare supplies, and do not assume that replacing an oven control will resolve an unrelated hob symptom.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
