# Cooktop error code C1

### What C1 means on this make

The mirror of C0: instead of no reading the control sees an impossible one. The cause is often the lead rather than the sensor, particularly where a cooktop has been removed and refitted during other work in the kitchen. It is worth mentioning any recent work under the worktop when you call, because a pinched harness explains this code more often than a failed part.

### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to

On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.

### Which machines this one applies to

Modernist induction cooktops. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.

### What to do about it

- Say whether anything has been done under the worktop recently — refits pinch harnesses.
- Note whether it appears cold or only once the surface has been used.
- The circuit is measured at the board end so the lead is included in the test.
- A sensor replaced without checking the harness is a repair that returns.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [induction cooktop repair](/services/induction-cooktop-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-6067](tel:+13053636067) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
