Hey all In my attempt to get the IH board back up and running, I scoured the local market for the MOSFETs that were recommended here by you all but I couldn't find any SMDs. I did manage to find a popular one that's through hole though I think - IRFZ44N. Just wondering if I can solder these on...

In my exploration of trying to fix my ZVS board, I have uncovered lots of info on this build. Full credit to everyone on this thread for helping with all the info so far. I'd like to share some of the videos's I've uncovered as well for people that might be interested in building their own...

Good idea. Will give this a shot for sure once I get more confident about these solders.

Just realised I completely missed this post and I am back to report that after careful analysis, the FETs on the heater seem to have cracked and completely busted. I am checking for the ones you linked earlier and also for the ones @rz linked as well in the open market for a quick replacement...

Wow, that was quick. Thanks so much for sharing this man. Really makes my life so much simpler. Will try and swap out the MOSFETs of my busted induction coil and will share the MOSFET components i am able to source here. I am sure it'll be similar to one of the ones you've linked. Thanks again...

Thanks so much for linking me with this info. Really appreciate it. Will ask around and let you guys know the MOSFETs available here. Any chance you guys happen to have a circuit diagram for the ZVS Induction Heater? I have been looking around and haven't found any part numbers / datasheets /...

Hey @phattpiggie, do you change out the FET's on the ZVS Heating circuit too? If yes, which ones have you had good experiences with? Thanks in advance

When my induction heater used to work, I had it set to position 1 with 5-6 second clicks.

Hi Pipes. Thanks for chiming in. Just out of curiousity, my problem definitely seems to be a blown MOSFET right? These are encased under the board covered with that casing right? Swapping them out for these should fix the problem? Do you have a spec for these? Maybe I can find some locally...

Should I try plugging it in to the power supply and checking again to see if any components are getting hot? Also, how do I find a good quality Zvs? How does one identify good from bad?

Here you go. I have two switches. One for the main power and one as a tactile push button self reset switch for the heating coil. The only thing missing / disconnected in this is the ZVS Induction Heater (<-- link) coil i bought from aliexpress. Thats been sent to an electrical shop just to...

Any idea what might have caused the FET to blow? Any way for me to check so i can avoid this happening again? These parts are tough to come by here in India.

Hey guys Newbie here. Bought all the parts listed and put everything together with some help from a friend who's good with soldering and stuff. Used the device a couple of times and it worked really well. Unfortunately, as of yesterday, I seem to have caused a shot on the coil. It's working...
