-
Carefully assess the damage. If the glass is cracked but the unit still powers on, consider a temporary protective cover. For complete breaks, turn off the power and replace the glass top. This requires removing the induction hob from the counter, detaching the damaged glass, and installing a new one.
-
If the hob is still under warranty, contact the manufacturer for a replacement or repair. Document the damage and provide proof of purchase.
-
If the induction hob is not functioning at all, check for internal damage. This may require professional assessment and potentially replacing internal components such as the control board.
