Possible Causes
Open or shorted NTC sensor on induction coil, Damaged sensor wiring harness, Faulty power module sensor input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: This repair requires opening the cooktop. Always disconnect power at the breaker and verify no voltage is present before removing the unit.
- Power reset: Before opening, try turning off the breaker for 5 minutes and retest. If E6 returns on the same zone, proceed.
- Access internals (technician): Remove the cooktop from the countertop per Gaggenau instructions. Remove the bottom cover to access the induction coils and wiring.
- Inspect sensor wiring: Locate the NTC sensor on the affected coil (small probe or embedded sensor) and follow its wires to the power module. Check for burns, cuts, or loose connectors.
- Test sensor: Using a multimeter, measure resistance of the NTC at room temperature and compare to Gaggenau specs. An open or shorted reading indicates a bad sensor.
- Replace components: Replace the induction coil with integrated sensor or the separate NTC harness if available. If sensor tests good, the power module input may be defective and should be replaced.
