Induction cooking: a cautionary tale
Induction cooktops are awesome until their space-age componentry decides to explode. Like, literally. I had some motherboard inside my cooktop go BANG! and throw a bunch of smoke a few weeks ago. Called the repair company and they sent a new part out. So yesterday the repair guy plugs in the new board, opens up the circuit again and tries to test the cooktop. BANG! again, this time even more violent. Repair dude's nearly in tears; he's never actually worked on one of these units before. He goes all Rain Man on me: "I put it all together right. I definitely put it together right. Definitely. It's put together right." We open it up and now TWO of the three circuitboards inside my cooktop have exploded.
We're going to give it another go on the 24th. I really wish I'd bought the extended warranty.
So what have I learned? Expensive toys have expensive repairs. Rare toys are hard to fix because nobody knows how to work on them. And expensive, rare toys will try and burn your house down.
