Possible Causes

Incorrect line voltage (too high or too low), Miswired terminal block (missing phase or neutral), Loose supply connections, Faulty power supply section of control module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Only a qualified person should test live voltages.

  • Verify wiring: Remove the rear or bottom cover to access the terminal block. Confirm that L1, L2, and N (if used) are connected per La Cornue wiring diagram and that all screws are tight.
  • Measure voltage: With a multimeter and appropriate safety precautions, verify that the supply voltage matches the rating on the appliance data plate (e.g., 208–240 V). Correct any supply issues via an electrician.
  • Inspect for heat damage: Look for discoloration or melting at the terminal block or wiring. Replace damaged components.
  • Module check: If supply is correct and E3 persists, the internal power supply on the induction or control module may be faulty and require replacement.
