Possible Causes

Failed LED driver on control board, Shorted or open LED strip, Loose LED harness connection, Overloaded lighting circuit from aftermarket modifications

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before removing light covers or accessing the control board.

Steps to resolve E13:

  • 1. Inspect LED strips/modules: Remove interior light diffusers and visually inspect LED strips for burn marks or discoloration.
  • 2. Check connections: Ensure all LED connectors are firmly seated. Reseat any loose plugs.
  • 3. Isolate faulty segment: If there are multiple LED modules, disconnect them one at a time (with power off), then restore power to see if the error clears, indicating which module is faulty.
  • 4. Replace defective LED module: Install a new Gaggenau LED strip or module, matching voltage and connector type. Do not substitute non-approved LED products.
  • 5. Inspect LED driver circuit: If all LEDs test good but still do not light, the LED driver on the main control board may have failed. Replace the control board if confirmed.
  • 6. Test operation: Restore power and verify that lighting operates smoothly without flicker and that E13 is cleared.

Tip: Avoid using harsh cleaners on LED lenses; they can cause crazing and premature failure.
