Code overview at a glance.

The facts for this Whirlpool error, a plain-language snapshot, and what to confirm against your model number.

Error code E_4
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

E_4 on a Whirlpool induction cooktop: the manufacturer gives no cause for this code and lists only a power reset.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so E_4 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

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

The manufacturer gives no cause for this code and lists only a power reset.

An induction cooktop displaying E_4 is covered by a brief entry from Whirlpool. It lists no cause, just a way to reset power and watch for a repeat.

Resetting the cooktop

Turn the breaker or breakers for the cooktop to off then give it one minute with no power. Once the minute is up, turn the power back on. Do not start cooking until the cooktop has cooled down. Monitor it for one minute to make sure the error does not come back. Then confirm that the cooktop operates.

Nearby codes

Easily mistaken for this one: E_35 is handled with the same reset sequence; E_5 gets the same reset-only entry; E_3 also switches the controls off when the cooktop runs too hot.
