Is the pot the correct size?" url: "https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f0e1-cooktop/" date_modified: "2026-08-23" Appliance type: "Cooktops" --- # KitchenAid induction cooktop error code F0E1 ### What KitchenAid publishes for F0E1 on a induction cooktop Is the correct cookware being used? Is the pot the correct size? Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material that are suitable for use with an induction cooktop: Enameled steel Cast iron Stainless steel designed for induction cooking To determine whether a pot is suitable, a magnet may be used to check whether the pot is magnetic. The quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance. Some indications for the base's diameter do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface. Some pots and pans have only a part of the bottom in a ferromagnetic material, with parts in another material that is not suitable for induction cooking. These areas may heat up at different levels or at lower temperatures. In certain cases, where the bottom is made mainly of non-ferromagnetic materials, the cooktop might not recognize the pan and, therefore, not switch on the cooking zone. Non-ferromagnetic materials will not work with induction cooking. Non-ferromagnetic materials include: Stainless steel Glass Ceramic Copper or aluminum To ensure the cooktop functions properly, use pots of a suitable minimum diameter. Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the minimum diameter of the bottom of the pot. Place the pot, making sure it is well centered on the cooking zone in use. It is recommended not to use pots that exceed the perimeter of the cooking zone in use. 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. ### F0E1 is two numbers, not one Read it as **F0** and **E1**. The F names the function that reported the problem; the E names what it reported. So F0E1 and F0E0 are neighbors, and F1E1 is not related to either of them despite looking almost the same on a display. Across this whole archive, F0 conditions whose meaning the maker states name the **control board** more often than anything else — 2 of the 2 that carry one. That is not a rule KitchenAid publishes; it is what its own pages add up to, and it is worth knowing before you read the E digit as the whole answer. The other F0 conditions published for the induction cooktop: [F0E2](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f0e2-cooktop/), [F0E4](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f0e4-cooktop/), [F0E6](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f0e6-cooktop/), [F0E8](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f0e8-cooktop/). If your display has cycled through two of those, they are almost certainly one problem rather than two. ### Worth trying yourself, in this order These are KitchenAid’s own steps for F0E1 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. - Press On/Off button twice to remove the F0E1 code and restore the functionality of the cooking zone. Then, try to use the cookware with a different cooking zone, or use different cookware. ### Then what 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 F0E1 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.
