What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F1E0 indicates that one or more keys are permanently pressed.
When F1E0 shows, the cooktop is reading one or more of its touch keys as pressed all the time. Lights may flash and the cooktop may beep or sound audio tones while it happens.
Clean the control area first
Check that every cooktop control is off.
Take away anything left on the control area and wipe debris off the control panel surface.
Clean the touch control panel thoroughly.
Then reset the power
The help text adds that there may be a problem with the cooktop control or its wiring. Cut power at the circuit breaker for one minute, switch it back on, and watch the cooktop for one minute. If F1E0 stays off the display and the cooktop works, the reset did the job.
