# Induction hob shows E2 — electronics too hot

> Induction hob shows E2 — electronics too hot: symptoms, likely causes and how a technician diagnoses it. Common AGA issue. Mon–Sun 8:00AM–8:00PM. Call or text 206-427-7323.

Common issue — here is how we diagnose it, which parts are usually involved, and when to call a pro.

**Common** · Professional repair only

## What you will notice

- E2 on the cooktop display
- Hob shuts down mid-cook
- Recurs under sustained high-power use

## What is usually behind it

- Insufficient ventilation / obstructed cooling airflow from installation (most common)
- Cooling fan failure (common)
- A pan allowed to boil dry (occasional, one-off)
- Induction generator failing (less common)

## How a technician diagnoses it

1. Check the installation first: the manual explicitly points at ventilation. Verify clearances and that the cooling path is not blocked by cabinetry.
2. Verify the cooling fan runs.
3. If ventilation and fan are good and E2 recurs, investigate the induction generator module.
