Default Induction Cooking Table : IGBT keeping to short !

Hello,

A day my induction cooking table did not work anymore (an Brandt TI302BS1).
Opened it, saw a couple of IGBT in bridge configuration (two IRGP4068D), and
the bottom one was shorted. Got some spares, replaced the shorted one, power
on : OK.

Two steaks later (in fact, 1 1/2 uses), got some unsuspected shutdowns, and
sooner, the same IGBT shorts again. What I need to check before daring to
replace the transistor and to retry to power on the beast again ?


I'd go with the "experience tells me that many high-tech appliances are
designed by idiots" notion, and just replace the failed devices with
more robust ones.
