Possible Causes

Line voltage above specification, Incorrect electrical connection (e.g., 3-phase miswired), Faulty power module voltage sensing circuit, Loose neutral connection in junction box

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: This error involves mains voltage. Only qualified persons should open junction boxes or access wiring. Always switch off the circuit breaker before inspecting connections.

  • Power reset: Turn the cooktop off and switch off the breaker for 5 minutes. Restore power and test.
  • Check for other home issues: If lights flicker or other appliances misbehave, contact an electrician to check the supply voltage.
  • Verify wiring (electrician only): Confirm that the cooktop is wired according to the Gaggenau wiring diagram (correct phase, neutral, and ground). Incorrect 2- or 3-phase connections can cause E3.
  • If supply is correct but E3 persists: The induction power module may have a defective voltage sensing circuit and should be tested and replaced by a Gaggenau service technician.
