Possible Causes

Prolonged operation at maximum power, Blocked airflow under cooktop, Defective temperature sensor on induction coil, Failing power module IGBT overheating

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the affected zone and let the cooktop cool completely. Do not pour cold water on hot glass.

User actions:

  • Remove the pan and wait until the error clears.
  • Use a lower power setting or activate the powerBoost function only for short periods as recommended in the Siemens manual.
  • Check that ventilation slots are not blocked by cookware, foil, or cabinet contents.

Technician actions:

  • Isolate power at the breaker.
  • Remove the cooktop and inspect the induction coil and its thermal sensor for discoloration or damage.
  • Verify that the NTC sensor is firmly attached to the coil or heat sink.
  • Measure sensor resistance and compare with Siemens service data.
  • If the sensor is OK, test the power module for signs of overheating (burn marks, cracked IGBTs) and replace if necessary.

Persistent E2 errors indicate a need for professional diagnosis to prevent further damage.
