Meaning
Severity
Common Symptom
E1
No compatible cookware
Low
The induction zone activates but produces no heat, and E1 appears on the display. The cookware placed on the zone is either non-ferromagnetic or too small for the coil to detect.
View
E3
Supply voltage out of range
Medium
The unit powers on but immediately displays E3 and disables all zones, or shuts down unexpectedly during cooking when a voltage fluctuation occurs.
View
F1
Control board failure
High
All induction zones de-energize suddenly and the display shows F1. The surface may be warm but cooking stops completely.
View
F2
Temperature sensor fault
High
One or more induction zones stop heating mid-use and the display shows F2. Other zones may continue working if only one sensor has failed.
View
F3
Cooling fan failure
High
Normally the internal cooling fan becomes audible within seconds of activating any zone. With F3, the fan is absent or barely spinning, and the cooktop shuts down to prevent overheating of the electronics.
View
F5
Power module overtemp
High
F5 most commonly appears after sustained high-power cooking — particularly when using multiple zones at high settings for extended periods. All zones cut out simultaneously.
View
IGN-FAIL
Burner ignition failure
Medium
Turning the burner knob to ignite causes continuous clicking from the spark module, but no flame appears. This may occur on one burner or all burners simultaneously.
View
SENSOR-ERR
Burner sensor error
Medium
The burner flame cycles or extinguishes unexpectedly at low settings. The cooktop's electronic simmer control cannot maintain the target temperature because the sensor feedback is unreliable.
