• Problem Induction element wont heat
• Minimal or less heating of the induction element
  in the stovetops is yet another common issue
  faced by the users regularly.
• Solution In order to solve this common issue,
  make sure that the pan you are using is induction
  compatible. Some special types of pans are prone
  to induction elements in the stove. The induction
  works flawlessly only when the pan is heated
  directly instead of the burner below.
  Ferromagnetic pans are used for induction based
  stoves for their proper functioning.
• Problem The continuous clicking of gas stovetops
  
• The clicking of the burner is normal, but if the
  clicking continues long after the burner is lit,
  then it can cause problems. In case the clicking
  is making the burner shut down, then also it can
  create a real inconvenience.
• Solution This problem usually occurs when the
  burner getting blocked. It is important to make
  sure that the burner holes are not blocked with
  either bits and pieces of food or due to any
  other issues. If the debris gets stuck in the
  cooktop, that is because of the absence of a
  sealed burner cooktop. Food can easily get stuck
  inside the gas grades, which can be skimmed with
  pins etc.
