Possible Causes
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.
