Re: [MBZ] OT Induction cook top
We all know control boards never fail right? The home appliance industry standard is, if a part has a high failure rate.. bring out a new model... and stop making any repair parts immediately... so you can't fix the unit that failed... and have to buy a new unit... BTDT... to many times. On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 12:46 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Kevin, > > It's a Whirlpool, has a touch panel control.

Re: [MBZ] OT Induction cook top
Kevin, It's a Whirlpool, has a touch panel control. I would also prefer knobs and physical buttons, given a choice, for simplicity and probably also lower cost. However, this particular cook top was a deeply discounted floor display at a price too good to pass ($360). Boiled some water last night as the first test, and that was shocking how fast this is. This a.m. I made espresso using a stove-top moka machine which is aluminum, heated on a steel adapter plate. Despite the inefficiency and losses of heating the adapter plate to heat the moka machine, it was still impressively fast. I'm a little leery about the cost of parts if I have to make any repair, a cursory check on the price for a new control board is $400, and there are two that can fail. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 2:28 PM, Kevin Kraly via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > What brand of induction cooktop did you purchase?

Re: [MBZ] OT Induction cook top
What brand of induction cooktop did you purchase? I am thinking about purchasing in induction cooktop, but I would like one that has knobs rather than a touch panel with a display that is hard to see. I really like the adaptive technology since the surface is not hot when the burners are turned off.

It's been more than a year and I haven't had a problem. I did caulk the outside edge - not "glue" it down. And I used as little as possible, but like you, I don't want dry or liquid junk getting underneath. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] OT Induction cook top
Just installed, mounted in white Formica counter. Should I run a bead of caulk around the perimeter? Nothing in the installation guide about doing that, I was thinking the glass needed to be floating so it could expand and contract and not break. However, lots of food and liquid is going to get under the edge of the glass if not sealed. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
