# Bosch NIT8661UC

### What a NIT8661UC is

A 36-inch induction cooktop. It belongs to the 800 Series, which is where its parts and its features come from.

### What we are called out for on it

- [Cooktop zone switching itself off](https://boschmiami.support/symptoms/cooktop-zone-turns-off/)
- [Induction cooktop not recognizing the pan](https://boschmiami.support/symptoms/cooktop-not-recognizing-pan/)
- [Cooktop controls locked or unresponsive](https://boschmiami.support/symptoms/cooktop-controls-locked/)

### The thing worth knowing about this one

Most calls on an induction top of this size are the protections working — the overheat cut-out, the panel lock, the automatic time limit. The ventilation gap under the counter is what decides how often the first of those happens.

### Where the model number is

On the door edge of a dishwasher, visible when the door is open. On the inner frame of a refrigerator, usually behind a drawer. On the door collar or behind the filter flap on laundry. A photograph of the plate is enough — it tells us the series, the configuration and which parts fit, before anyone drives anywhere.
