Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between touch control and main board, Faulty user interface PCB, Defective power module microcontroller, Moisture ingress on control electronics

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the appliance from mains power before opening any panels. Electrostatic discharge can damage control boards; use proper precautions.

User-level step:

  • Turn off the circuit breaker for 5–10 minutes to perform a power reset. Restore power and test again.

Technician steps:

  • Remove the cooktop and access the control electronics compartment.
  • Inspect for signs of moisture, corrosion, or insect damage on the PCBs.
  • Reseat the ribbon cable and connectors between the touch control panel and the power module.
  • If E6 persists, substitute a known-good user interface board or power module to isolate the faulty component.

Because this involves delicate electronics, board-level repair should be done by a Siemens-authorized technician.
