Mean
The manufacturer gives no cause for this code and lists only a power reset.
Whirlpool’s help for E_13 on induction cooktops is minimal. It describes how to power the unit down and up again and leaves the cause unspecified.
Resetting the cooktop
Cut power to the unit at its breaker and keep it dark for a full minute. Next, return the breaker to on. Do not start cooking until the cooktop has cooled down. Keep an eye on the display for one minute to see whether the code shows up again. Make sure the cooktop operates afterwards.
Other induction codes
Related entries: E_03 is another induction code whose entry offers only a power reset; E_35 gets the same reset-only entry; E_22 is a reset-only entry as well.
