Too expensive to fail only after 4 years.
It works great until it doesn't. Same.as the 5 year old Electrolux it replaced. Error E8 21. Temperature sensor failure after only 4 years. Not impressed.
Westinghouse Westinghouse 70cm Induction Cooktop
This cooktop replaced a SMEG cooktop that gave up the goose after 10 years. The only issue I would say is the on/off switch is very sensitive and if you wipe any splashes whilst cooking it turn the cooktop off and then it wont restart on the ring you were using until after several minutes.
Westinghouse WH1743BC 70cm induction cooktop
I purchased this cooktop in June 2022 but it wasn't installed until 6th December. The price was $1,329. This unit is essentially the same as the 60cm induction cooktop except the glass width is wider which I needed to cover the hole from the old coil element cooktop this replaced. For a new benchtop installation the hole cutout is identical for the 2 models. Everything seemed good and it was easy enough to use...till 29th December when it stopped working during a cooking function on the front right element. The appliance was completely dead not responding to the on/off button. There was nothing wrong with the power as the oven was still working, both being on the same circuit. I decided to initiate a service call via the Westinghouse website which I did, I think on 31/12/22. A service technician from Westinghouse came out on 10/1/23 and said it would have to be replaced and organised for this to happen. On 24/1/23 a service technician from Sydney Appliances came out to replace the cooktop.
I would say that is a reasonable timeframe for replacing the appliance. Fortunately I was able to borrow a plug-in single electric cooktop from a friend to get me out of trouble.
Needless to say I do not have much confidence in the product and shudder to think of the cost had this happened outside of warranty. After talking to a couple of service people (not saying who) I would be inclined to replace it with a plain ceramic cooktop if it failed again.
Incidentally I bought an Electrolux semi-induction cooktop (2 induction elements and 2 ceramic elements) installed in 2007. It was made by AEG in Germany. That one lasted 5 years, just outside of an extended warranty. The cost of a board replacement plus call-out and service fees made it prohibitively expensive to repair. That was replaced by a cheap ceramic cooktop which is still working to date.
