It presents as a cooktop that lights up and refuses to be operated, which people reasonably describe as dead. The same two characters mean a runaway heat condition on a Classic ERC oven and a panel-to-relay communication problem on an ER-series range: three appliances, three meanings, one string, and the reason this site asks what is in the kitchen before it answers. ### 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 - Confirm the appliance and its age before accepting any meaning for F2 on this make. - Dry the surface thoroughly and remove anything resting on it, then power cycle at the breaker. - The touch assembly is tested rather than the whole cooktop replaced. - A cooktop that lights but will not respond is usually this, and the glass is rarely the problem. ### 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.
