Electrolux Icon Induction Cooktop

16 years ago

Electrolux Icon Induction Cooktop. I downloaded the parts manual for the above cooktop. The glass is one single part, but it does have a cutout where the touch controls are. Looking at the parts list, I see no gasket/gaskets between the touchpads and the glass. My guess is spills run into the touchpad and disable it until it dries out.

I will call Electrolux--since mine is still under warranty and "Pretend" I'm you---had a spill that disabled the unit and see what they suggest. I don't think silicon would be a good idea as it would make it a real "Bear" if the touch panel/panels ever had to be replaced but I think that the rubber you can buy that has a glued edge might work---you can get that at an autoparts store, probably Home Depot too.

Really sorry that the problem you are having spoils what I feel is a great cooktop. I havent had problems cleaning around the SS edge, if there is some dirt there, I just take a paper towel and kinda use my finger nail to kinda scrape along that edge---well till wife tells me to trim my nails LOL. The old one I had that was flush mount,(at least to me) was a much bigger pain to clean around the edge of it and the granite.

Hopefully we can work out this bug!!

Good luck dodge.
If you have no luck I will call them up here in Canada...even though it's out of warranty I had good luck with their support when it was in warranty with an oven I bought of theirs.
Let us know.

What part of Canada are you in. I used to be up there a lot and took my wife with me often. Been in BC, Vancouver alto I prefer West Vancouver(love the Lyons Gate Bridge)
Been in Alberta, Edmonton as well as the "End of the Earth"(Fort McMurray) as well as many trips to Toronto and saw the Falls from the Canadian side.

I'm in the Toronto area...grew up on Niagara Falls.
BC is nice to look at...very laid back, perhaps too laid back in some aspects...
Not a fan of Alberta at all...the western part of the province is not bad but if you guys want to take them as your next state, you are welcome to them!

my Icon induction cooktop is still sitting in the warehouse at the appliance place. I'm ready to put a piece of plywood between two old base cabinets just to be able to try this out and see if there is any noise/spill issues or other things that have been dicussed recently.

But first I need to get my husband motivated to get the trailer out of the snowbank so we can go get my appliances. Would not need it for the cooktop but we do need it for the double wall oven that is coming with it.

My cooktop is not the same as the one you are talking about, they came out with an updated version right before I made the purchase. I saw pictures, but am anxious to see it in person.

Thanks for the Post Cathy, Please keep us updated. Mine has been trouble free, but I haven't spilled water on it.

Regarding the noise: If it happens on the electrolux with a particular pan, it's going to happen on another unit as well...it's really no big deal...

Just got back from Pacific Sales. None of their Induction cooktops is hooked up They are worried about their customers getting burned. Sorry about that, but I think between this post and others, we have covered the "Noise" pretty well???
You can too, Just "Whistle while you Induct" LOL, Or Recite Truman's Words to your bird ?

DH and I got the appliances home last night. There is snow in the forecast for the next several days and we didn't want to wait. It's just over 60 miles one way, and not real fun driving around the city with an 18' stock trailer.

I got as far as to open the boxes. My new induction Icon does not have the metal band between the burners and the controls and it does not have the vent holes along the edge of the metal trim - it sits flush down on the cabinet. Those are the two things I didn't especially like about the first Icon - we shall see how it all works out in use.

I'm so excited about getting to use my new cooktop - I'll have to figure some way to get it hooked up. Now I need to find a new home for my free standing range.

That looks like a new unit...I just checked the icon website for USA.
I would not have been able to use this as there is no frame around it for ventilation...I think this is required if you have a heat source below.

Let us know how it works!
