# KitchenAid electric cooktop error code F2

### What KitchenAid publishes for F2 on a electric cooktop

"F2" will disappear when the surface cooking area has cooled. If you turn the surface cooking area back on and "F2" reappears, the cooktop is still too hot. That sentence is KitchenAid’s own, read off its published support page for this condition on a electric 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 F2 on a electric 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.

- Remove the pans from the surface cooking area.
- Turn off the surface cooking area and allow it to cool.
- Power unit down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute.
- Power unit up by turning on the circuit breaker(s).
- Monitor the cooktop for one (1) minute to ensure the error code does not display again.
- Verify cooktop operation

### Then what

F2 is also published for the [over-the-range microwave](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f2-microwave/), [wall oven](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f2-oven/), [range](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f2-range/) 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 F2 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.
