Ikea Cooktop Overheat or Internal Sensor Trip

Induction cooktop displays E1 and shuts down shortly after starting

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation, Overheated electronics, Failed internal temperature sensor

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the unit to cool completely.

Clear vents: Remove any items stored under the cooktop that block airflow. Ensure the installation cut-out matches Ikea specifications.
Clean fan and intake: Access the underside and remove dust from the fan and vents.
Test operation: After cooling and cleaning, restore power and test at low power. If E1 returns quickly, the internal sensor or module is likely faulty and requires replacement.
