Possible Causes
Failed cooling fan, Blocked ventilation grilles, Overheated power module, Faulty temperature sensor on heatsink
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect mains power before removing the cooktop from the counter.
- Check ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance under the cooktop as specified by Hotpoint-Ariston installation instructions. Remove any stored items blocking airflow.
- Inspect cooling fan: Remove the bottom cover and locate the cooling fan. Check that it spins freely and is not obstructed by debris.
- Test fan operation: Restore power briefly and start a low-power cooking zone. The fan should start after a short delay. If it does not run, disconnect power and test the fan for continuity. Replace the fan if open or seized.
- Clean dust: Use a vacuum or compressed air to remove dust from heatsinks and vents.
- Sensor/board fault: If the fan works and airflow is good but F14 persists, the temperature sensor on the power module or the module itself may be faulty and require replacement.
