# KitchenAid induction cooktop error code E2

### What KitchenAid publishes for E2 on a induction cooktop

The cooktop is too hot. Are you trying to cook with an empty pan/pot? The control panel switches off because of excessively high temperatures. The internal temperature of the electronic parts is too high. Wait for the cooktop to cool down before using it again. If you have placed an empty pan or pot on one of the cooking areas and started the cooktop, it may trigger this error code. Add food or liquid Move the pan/pot to the cooking area and start the cooktop. That sentence is KitchenAid’s own, read off its published support page for this condition on a induction cooktop rather than worked out from the outside. Everything under it is ours, written from what this equipment does in Miami kitchens.

### Worth trying yourself, in this order

These are KitchenAid’s own steps for E2 on a induction cooktop, and they are worth the five minutes: several of them end the call for nothing at all, which is why this archive is free to read before you book anything.

- Turn off the burner
- Remove the pan/pot
- Power unit down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute.
- Power up the unit by turning on the circuit breaker(s).
- Wait for the cooktop to cool down before using it again.
- Monitor the cooktop for one (1) minute to ensure the error code does not display again.
- Verify cooktop operation.

### Then what

E2 is also published for the [undercounter refrigerator](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-e2-refrigerator/), [wine cellar](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-e2-wine-cellar/) on this make, and it does not mean the same thing there. Read the page for the machine that is actually showing it — that is why every title in this archive names an appliance.

One more thing worth saying plainly: **this code is not this badge’s alone.** KitchenAid shares its control platform with the other names in the same group, and the same page for E2 sits at the same address under more than one of them. That is useful rather than awkward — it means the code names the subsystem and the model number names the machine, so the plate on the door frame is half of every answer here.

The [full KitchenAid code archive](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/) holds the rest, searchable. Tell us the model number and exactly what the display is showing and we will tell you what it points at before anybody is booked. We repair this equipment across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
