Customer Review: how to fix a malfunction unit
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this sunpentown model so much I bought 4 of them for my office and home in the past couple of years, two white, one black, and the latest one silver. The problem is that this one does not put out nearly enough power compared to the other three. In fact, it takes three times as long to cook on the max level. So I decided to use this one to fix my black one that suddenly stopped taking any pots and pans I had been using (blinking light). Here is how to do it in case you need to fix the same problem:
> Remove the unit from power!!!
> Undo the screws from the bottom of the unit;
> The pot sensor is the small circular piece in the center of the coil;
> Twisted it counterclockwise by about 90 degrees. The sensor will pop out;
> Disconnect the sensor wiring on the board by unplug the connector;
> Place the sensor from the new unit in the reverse manner.
The nice surprise was that the old sensor actually works fine on the new unit. So I ended up with two good ones. My theory is that the triggering levels were set slightly differently (manufacturing inconsistency) on the sensor circuits. My guess is that I might be able to fix it by simply raising it slightly so that it is closer to the cooking surface.
I still don't know why the silver is so much lower in output power even though its power rating is the same as the white and the black. If you can't heat a gallon water just about too hot to touch in 6-7 minutes (it takes about 20 min on my silver), then the power is low. I hope they didn't do this purposely on all new ones.
Now you know why they did not get 5 star from me.

Description of Sunpentown SR-1881S 1200-Watt Countertop Induction Cooktop, Silver
Electric induction elements provide best cook top performance, safety and efficiency. Unlike other electric elements, induction elements provide the precise temperature control of gas burners for gourmet cooking. Turning the dial down, the heat energy to the pan immediately decreases. Magnetic waves have no effect on skin or anything other than iron or steel. If the pan is accidentally removed from the cook top, no more heat is produced. Features ceramic glass surface made in Japan.Ovens & Toasters
