This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed internal temperature sensor, overheated electronics, blocked cooling fan, control board fault

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.

Cool down: Allow the cooktop to cool for at least 30 minutes and ensure vents are clear.
Inspect cooling fan: If equipped, verify the internal fan runs when burners are on. Replace the fan if it does not operate.
Check sensor connections: Access the control area and reseat connectors for temperature sensors.
Replace control or sensor: If E3 persists, replace the sensor or main control module per the tech sheet for your model.
