Error: F1 / E1 (Heating Element Failure)

A heating element (electric radiant or induction coil) has failed or is reading abnormal resistance. The affected burner zone will not heat. Element replacement requires a technician for safe disconnection.

Error: F2 / E6 (Touch Panel Failure)

The touch control panel is not responding or registering phantom touches. This commonly affects glass-top cooktops with capacitive touch controls. Moisture or a cracked glass surface can trigger this error.

Error: F47 / Hot (Pan Detection Failure - Induction)

An induction cooktop burner cannot detect compatible cookware or is detecting an undersized pan. Induction cooktops require ferromagnetic cookware of appropriate size. Try a different pan or reposition the current one.

Error: Er / F7 (Overheating Protection)

The cooktop has shut down a burner zone due to excessive surface temperature. This safety feature prevents damage to the cooktop and countertop. Allow the surface to cool before resuming cooking.

Error: Clicking / No Spark (Burner Ignition Failure - Gas)

A gas cooktop burner continuously clicks without igniting, or does not spark at all. Often caused by moisture or debris around the igniter. Clean and dry the igniter and burner cap, and ensure the cap is properly seated.
