What Performance Boost Flashing - Power Level Changes means

On a KitchenAid commercial-style range with an induction cooktop, a flashing Performance Boost with power-level changes comes down to how zones are set. The Performance Boost function operates only one cooking area in a cooktop zone. If both areas in a zone are set to Performance Boost, the cooktop changes the power level. The page also applies to induction cooktops in general.

Common causes of Performance Boost Flashing - Power Level Changes

  • More than one area in a zone set to Performance Boost
  • Settings not matching how the feature works
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check whether both areas in the same cooktop zone are set to Performance Boost. 2. Set Performance Boost on only one cooking area in that zone. 3. Use a normal power level on the other area. 4. If the display keeps flashing with only one area set, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • This is how the feature works, so no repair is needed.
  • A flashing display with correct settings needs the cooktop control tested.
  • We provide a written price first and a 30-day warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Performance Boost Flashing - Power Level ChangesPerformance Boost Flashing - Power Level Changes questions
Why do the power levels change?

If both areas in one zone are set to Performance Boost, only one can run it, so the cooktop adjusts the power level. This is how the feature is designed.

Is my cooktop broken?

Probably not. Set Performance Boost on one cooking area per zone and see whether the flashing stops. The function works on only one cooking area in a zone, so the cooktop is behaving as designed.

When is it a real problem?

If the flashing continues with only one area on Performance Boost, book a check. Then the cooktop control needs testing rather than a change of settings.
