Possible Causes

Loose data cable between user interface and power board, Faulty touch control PCB, Defective main power board, Electrical noise or surge damage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate the hob at the circuit breaker before opening the unit.

Checks (technician level):

  • Remove the hob and access the internal electronics.
  • Locate the low‑voltage ribbon cable or harness linking the touch control PCB to the main power/control board.
  • Reseat both ends of the cable, ensuring there is no corrosion or bent pins.
  • Inspect the cable for damage from pinching or heat; replace if any conductors are broken.
  • Check for signs of liquid ingress around the touch panel that may have damaged the PCB.

Remedy:

  • If reseating the cable does not resolve E6, substitute a known‑good touch control module or main control PCB to identify the faulty board.

Because this involves low‑voltage logic circuits, board‑level repair is usually not economical; replacement of the complete module is recommended.
