Possible Causes
Incorrect electrical supply (voltage too low or high), Loose connections at terminal block, Overloaded internal power module
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Verify power is off before opening the junction box or terminal area.
- Verify supply voltage: Using a multimeter (by a qualified person), check that the cooktop is receiving the correct voltage per the rating plate (typically 240 V or 208 V). Incorrect voltage can trigger E18.
- Inspect terminal block: Access the cooktop's electrical junction. Tighten all lugs and inspect for heat damage or discoloration. Replace any burned components.
- Load management: Avoid running all zones at maximum power simultaneously. Use the Power Boost feature sparingly and not on multiple zones at once.
- Module evaluation: If supply and connections are correct but E18 persists, the internal power management circuitry may be faulty and the power module should be replaced by a technician.
