Possible Causes
Loose ribbon cable between touch panel and main PCB, Moisture on touch panel, Faulty touch control board, Electrical interference from nearby appliances
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the hob from mains before removing it from the worktop.
- Dry the surface: Wipe the glass control area thoroughly. Moisture or spills can cause false touches and communication errors.
- Power cycle: Turn off at the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power and test.
- Check for interference: Ensure no strong electromagnetic sources (e.g., powerful Wi‑Fi routers, inverters) are placed directly under or beside the hob.
- Inspect ribbon cable (advanced): Remove the hob, open the bottom cover, and locate the flat ribbon cable from the touch panel to the control board. Reseat both ends carefully and ensure there are no kinks or cracks.
When to call a technician: If E6 remains, the touch control PCB or main control board may need replacement.
