What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
The manufacturer gives no cause for this code and lists only a power reset.
E_22 on an induction cooktop from Whirlpool comes with very short instructions: reset the power and see whether the code returns. No explanation of the trigger is published.
Try this first
Cut power to the unit at its breaker and keep it dark for a full minute. Now put the breaker back on. Give the cooktop time to cool before using it. Monitor it for one minute to make sure the error does not come back. Check that cooking operation is back.
Codes easily confused
Close relatives: E_21 is the overheat message to compare; E_35 shares the power-reset-only guidance; E_4 is handled with the same reset sequence.
