E3 error on induction cooktop; zone shuts off at high power or after extended use.

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

Insufficient ventilation under cooktop, Blocked cooling fan intake, Heavy continuous load on high power, Faulty temperature sensor reading too high

Safety: Allow the cooktop to cool before inspection.

Ventilation: Remove drawers or panels under the cooktop and ensure airflow is not blocked. Do not store items directly under the cooktop.
Clean fan and vents: Access the underside and clean dust from the cooling fan and vents.
Usage pattern: Avoid running multiple zones at maximum power for long periods if ventilation is marginal.
Sensor check: If E3 occurs quickly even at low loads, test or replace the module temperature sensor as described for E2.
