How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This involves high voltage. If unsure, contact a qualified technician.
- Measure supply voltage: With a multimeter and power on, verify that supply voltage is within the range specified in the installation manual (typically around 240V).
- Inspect connections: With power off, check the junction box and cooktop terminal block for loose or burned connections. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Surge protection: If the error followed a storm or outage, consider installing surge protection and inspect the control board for damage.
- Replace control: If supply voltage is correct and connections are good, replace the cooktop power/control module.
