What Power arc blinking
actually means.
On Monogram induction cooktops the power arc blinks once a pan is taken off a working zone. The manual gives the zone 25 seconds; if no suitable pan is detected by then, it turns off. A pan that is not magnetic or too small for the ring has the same effect.

What to do when Power arc blinking shows on the cooktopKind of codeMode, not a failure
A state the cooktop was put in, or one it picked deliberately — a child lock, a demo mode that lights the keys but heats nothing, a residual-heat letter over a zone that is still warm, a prompt that no pan has been found. Nothing has broken and no part is called for.

Put the pan back and center it in the ring.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Monogram's own guidance for Power arc blinking on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Put the pan back and center it in the ring.
Check the base with a magnet and use a pan at least the zone's minimum size.
If the arc blinks with proper cookware in place, book a visit.
Cleared?
The cooktop came right without a new part. If the same message returns while a zone or burner is on, or the top shuts itself down again mid-meal, treat it as a fresh problem and book it.
What not to do
The blinking arc is not a board problem in itself. It is the pan-detection prompt.
