What this code means
Official wording for ER39 on the Induction cooktop — fault codes line may vary by model. Use the safe checks below and refer to your model manual for the exact meaning.
Symptoms you may notice
- The induction cooktop display shows ER39 during or after use.
- One or more cooking zones may stop heating, cycle on/off unexpectedly, or refuse to start while ER39 is shown.
- An audible alert or flashing zone indicator may accompany the ER39 display.
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Let the cooktop cool fully, then wipe the glass surface clean and dry — spills, moisture, or metal objects near the controls can sometimes affect touch controls.
- Confirm only induction-compatible cookware of a suitable size is centered on the zone.
- Switch the cooktop off at the wall or breaker, wait a few minutes, then restore power and retry once.
- Check that nothing is obstructing the ventilation gap under or around the cooktop.
- Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate.
Important safety warning. Do not open the cooktop body, access wiring or the control/power electronics beneath the glass, or attempt to repair a cracked ceramic/glass surface yourself. If you notice smoke, sparks, arcing, or a burning smell, switch off power at the wall or breaker if safe to do so and call a professional immediately.

Frequently asked questions
A power-cycle may clear a transient glitch, but a returning ER39 means the cause is still present. Do not open panels to “reset” electronics.
Control generations differ. Treat ER39 as a pointer for your serial, not a universal parts list.
