Last few month, I have been using the Indiction cooktop for cooking purpose. It is convenient way to cook foods. Although it consumes more electricity bit for a temporary living this electric induction cooktop is a blessing for those who does bot want to make use of LPG cylinders. I have less cooking to make, so it this electric equipment is very helpful to me. Recently, I figured it out that these induction cooktop has certain error code defined inbuilt. It was very helpful to learn and adjust accordingly.
It was in last few day that while cooking the machine stopped midway. Giving different signal. These cooktop machine stop functioning with display signalling E3, or E5 or E0. I never noticed it but on figuring out, I went to read the manual to learn few error codes specified for these induction stove
- An "E5" error on the induction cooktop typically indicates a problem with the internal temperature sensor, particularly an open circuit within the sensor, meaning it's not properly reading the temperature, and the appliance has entered a safety mode to prevent potential damage.
The primary cause is a faulty temperature sensor within the induction cooktop. The error code activates when the sensor detects an abnormal temperature reading, causing the cooktop to shut off. To troubleshoot ensure you're using a suitable induction-compatible pan. Wipe down the surface to remove any debris that might interfere with the sensor.
An "E0" error on the induction cooktop signifies that there is "no cookware detected" or that the cookware being used is not compatible with induction cooking, meaning it likely lacks the necessary magnetic properties to be heated by the induction technology. We must ensure that we are using a pan with a flat bottom made of ferromagnetic material (like cast iron or stainless steel with a magnetic base).
An "E3" error code typically indicates a problem with the power supply voltage, meaning the voltage coming into the appliance is either too high or too low. Make sure the induction cooktop is plugged into a suitable power outlet with the correct voltage. Sometimes, a simple power cycle can resolve the issue.
We often missed out on leaening the manual of the electric devices as we are mkre quick to bring the appliances into use. And when there is some error we start looking for thr mechanic or visot the repaor shop. Bit the manual has all the detail, that could easily be managed by own. Make sure to read and then put the device into use.
In good faith - Peace!!
