F0EA - Induction Cooktop

Possible Solutions

The cooktop is too hot

The control panel switches off because of excessively high temperatures. The internal temperature of the electronic parts is too high. Wait for the cooktop to cool down before using it again.

Are you trying to cook with an empty pan/pot?

If you have placed an empty pan or pot on one of the cooking areas and started the cooktop, it may trigger this error code. 

  1. Turn off the burner
  2. Remove the pan/pot
  3. Add food or liquid
  4. Move the pan/pot to the cooking area and start the cooktop

Are there any objects on the control area? 

Remove any objects left on the control area, and/or wipe any debris from the control panel surface. An object, liquids, or soils are putting pressure on the control panel and cause this error. 

Reset power to the product:

  • Power unit down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute.
  • Power unit up by turning on the circuit breaker(s).
  • Wait for the cooktop to cool down before using it again.
