Once you have your Breville Induction Cooker. You will notice the body is made up of an injection moulded ABS base and ceramic glass panel top. Let's take a closer look at the features on the top;

A power Button

Time Control

8 Cooking modes; sear, saute, medium, simmer, water boil, steam, slow cook, and, milk.

A keep warm

A saucepan detecting area

Now let's tear it down. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to undo the 6 screws found on the fringe of the back face. There are also 2 triangular screws located in the middle to be unscrewed (8 screws in total). Carefully flip the cooker so that the ceramic panel faces the top, then lift the panel to remove it from the case.

Once open, you can locate the User Interface PCB (Printed Circuit Board). On this we can see;

The timer

Sensor buttons

LED display

Resistors

Capacitors

To remove the user PCB, use the Philips head screwdriver to undo the 8 screws securing it to the base. Unclip the white wires that attach to the Main PCB before lifting the board out.

Next locate the copper induction coil, which uses alternating current to create a magnetic field. Thus, creating heat by inducing a current.

Use the Phillips head screwdriver, to undo the 3 screws holding the induction coil to the base. Remove each screw and their respective washers. Then lift it out and place beside the base.

To the right of the circuit is the Main PCB which powers the internal components. On this we can see;

The AC power plugs

Capacitors

Resistors

Microprocessors

A fuse

A heat sink

Inductors

To remove, use the Phillips head screwdriver to undo the 4 screws securing it to the base. Then gently pop all the chords out of the fasteners on the PCB. Once both the Induction coil and the Main PCB have been unscrewed, remove both.

The aluminium heat sink, as we identified in Step 5 is a passive cooling device meaning it involves no electronics. The ribs provide surface area to allow air flow from the fan to help cool the inner components.

To remove, flip the Main PCB upside down and use a Phillips head screwdriver to undo the 4 screws around the heat sink. Then lift from PCB

In the centre of the coil there are two sensors, a temperature sensor and an electromagnetic wave sensor. Attached to the ceramic glass plate via the thermal paste.

Carefully push the sensors rubber casing out of the induction coil.

Going back to the base locate the ABS fan, which cools the electrical components.

Use the Phillips head screwdriver to undo the 2 screws. Remove each screw and their respective washers before lifting the fan from the base.

Finally, where the induction coil was, there is a circular aluminium shield attached to the base. The shield prevents energy from the induction coil escaping downward.

To remove simply use the Philips head screwdriver to undo the screw located at the centre. Lift the shield to remove it from the base.

Only a Phillips head and triangular head screwdriver are needed for the teardown.

The Induction Cooker only has a few subassemblies that are easy to remove.

Easy to understand when opened as the subassemblies are laid out well.

The need of a triangular screwdriver may require purchasing extra equipment.

Thermal paste on a lot of the parts makes working a safety hazard.

This induction cooker is not the most recent version, thus replacement of parts may be scarce.
