Quick answer

E_2 on a Whirlpool induction cooktop: some indications for the base's diameter do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

Some indications for the base's diameter do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.

E_2 on a Whirlpool induction cooktop is about the cookware: some indications for the base’s diameter do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.

Choose induction-suitable pots

Use only pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material suitable for induction. Enameled steel, cast iron and stainless steel designed for induction cooking qualify. A magnet shows whether a pot is magnetic, and the quality and structure of the base can change cooking performance.

Materials that will not work with induction include glass, ceramic, and copper or aluminum.

Reset the power

Take the cooktop’s circuit breaker to its off position for one whole minute. After that, restore power at the breaker. Hold off on cooking until it has cooled. Check for one minute that the error code stays away. Make sure the cooktop operates afterwards.

Nearby codes

Also worth a look: E_3 is the overheat message to compare; E2 is the too-hot shutoff caused by excessive temperatures; E_21 is a too-hot code worth comparing.
