Possible Causes

Incorrect cookware for induction, pan too small, sensor fault in burner module, loose harness to burner

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the affected burner before troubleshooting.

  • Check cookware: For induction, ensure the pan is magnetic and of sufficient size to cover the cooking zone. For radiant, ensure the pan is flat and centered.
  • Try another pan: Test with a different, known-compatible pan to rule out cookware issues.
  • Reset power: Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes and restore power.
  • Inspect burner module: If E1 persists on the same zone, access the cooktop, check wiring to that burner module, and replace the module if the sensor is faulty.
