What it looks like from the kitchen
The symptom this code usually arrives with
A code names the subsystem; the symptom is what sent you to look at the display in the first place. That page says what it usually turns out to be, cheapest cause first.
-
Often just wet Cooktop controls locked or unresponsive
A cooktop that beeps and refuses, shows a lock symbol, or ignores the panel entirely. Spilled liquid and a wiped-but-damp surface are the usual reasons.
- A lock symbol on the display
- Beeps but nothing happens
- Panel dead with the cooktop otherwise powered

About Thermador cooktop error code F0
What this one means
The cooktop has found an error in its own controls and stopped. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.
What the code covers
A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:
- A spill sitting on the touch panel
- Moisture under the glass
- The control electronics
What to try yourself
- Wipe the panel completely dry and cut power at the breaker for thirty seconds
Then what
Water on a touch panel reads as a hundred fingers at once. Drying it is a real fix, not a workaround.
