EW36IC60LS
Electrolux Wave-Touch EW36IC60LS Induction Cooktop Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Wave-Touch keys that do not respond or respond late
- Zone that heats weakly or cuts out mid-cook
- Cooktop that gets very warm and shuts a zone down
- Display that shows an unfamiliar message
The EW36IC60LS is a 36-inch induction cooktop with Wave-Touch controls, which means you operate it by touching the glass instead of turning knobs. It has a black twin, the EW36IC60LB. Electrolux has stopped selling it, and the ones still in use are several years old.
On a Wave-Touch cooktop, we separate control problems from heating problems. If the keys are slow, we clean the glass, dry it and test the response. If a zone cuts out while cooking, we look at airflow around the unit, since induction electronics need to shed heat, and we check what the cooktop displays when it stops.
Cabinet space underneath matters here. A drawer or pan stored too close can cut off the air the unit needs, so we look at that too. Before we order anything we confirm the model and serial on the label. The price comes first, and the repair is covered for 30 days.

What does Wave-Touch mean on this cooktop?
It is the name of the touch control system on the EW36IC60LS. You operate the zones by touching the glass. When it misbehaves, we test the keys and the control board before suggesting parts.
Why does a zone shut off while I cook?
Induction electronics get hot, and poor airflow below the cooktop can make a zone cut out. We check the space under the unit, the cooling path and the zone itself to find which one is responsible.
Does it matter that I have the LS and not the LB?
The LB is the black version of the same 36-inch cooktop. Most internal parts match, but finish pieces differ, so the label on your cooktop settles which finish parts we need.
