Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This involves mains voltage. Only qualified persons should open the terminal cover or measure voltage. Always isolate the cooker at the main breaker before removing any covers.
- Power reset: Turn off the hob at the circuit breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power and test again.
- Check other appliances: If lights flicker or other appliances behave oddly, there may be a supply issue. Contact an electrician or your energy provider.
- Verify installation: Have a qualified electrician check that the Grundig hob is wired according to the wiring diagram on the rating plate (correct phase, neutral, and earth connections).
If E3 persists with correct supply voltage, the power module may be defective and should be tested and replaced by a service technician.
