For more than 3 years I have been using almost exclusively a small Bifinett induction hob for cooking: it is faster, better regulated and allows 20 to 30% savings than the ceramic glass or the classic electric hob. I am therefore very happy ... beware of the aluminum it heats up very quickly with the induction (personally I have turned all my aluminum utensils and I advise you to do the same!)
Bought more than 10 years ago from Lidl it seems to me, she was hanging out in a closet for years, we see that she has already lived:
This model has a big design flaw because when you simmer and there is condensed water falling on the plate or its support it enters through the ventral fan:
And that messes up the electronics of the control panel (ignition on / off ...):
I had recursive failures: the control panel no longer turns on when it is wet, and for good reason, it is not protected at all. The power part is better protected.
I presume tens of thousands of Bifinett plates were thrown away for this, when a simple drying is enough.
There I was fed up with having to open the plate every 6 months, so I optimized the trick by putting a large heat-shrinkable sleeve on the part that was causing the problem.
The difficulty was to find the holes once the gain was made!
The lower part is the display, I was too lazy to cut a sheath but I would do it if ever that was not enough for protection. A waterproofing lacquer could have done the trick as well I suspect.
Notice Bifinett induction hob: good but takes water and does not light up, idea of lasting repair!

You could also have used a tropicalization varnish https://www.bmjelec.com/wp-content/uplo ... IS-NET.pdf

Yes izy, that's what I meant by waterproofing lacquer ...
CHARACTERISTICS :
- The plasticizer varnish is a colorless protective varnish based on acrylic copolymer. The formed film
is shiny, flexible, transparent, hydrophobic and very resistant.
- It effectively protects printed circuits and other electronic assemblies, against the media
aggressive: humid heat, salt air, vapors, oils ... After rapid drying, the varnish is thermo
weldable.
- It ensures the laminating of documents.
I'll keep you posted if the trick works for the long haul!
