JennAir Induction Cooktop F0E1 Error Code

F0E1 on an induction cooktop sends you to the cookware. JennAir’s entry poses two questions: is it the right type of cookware, and is the pot the right size?

Is the pot magnetic?

Induction works only with ferromagnetic pans. JennAir lists enameled steel, cast iron and induction-designed stainless steel as suitable and offers a magnet check: a magnet that stays on the base means the pot is magnetic. Non-induction stainless, glass, ceramic, copper and aluminum are on the unsuitable list.

The base can fool you. A stated diameter might not equal the actual ferromagnetic area, and some pans are magnetic across only part of the base. Those pans may heat at different levels or at lower temperatures, and if the base is mostly non-magnetic, the cooktop may not detect the pan and will not start the zone.

Does the pot suit the zone?

• Choose the zone nearest the pot’s base size, observing the minimum pot diameter.
• Place the pot in the centre of the zone.
• Avoid pots that extend past the perimeter of the zone you are using, as JennAir recommends.

Getting rid of the code

This entry has no breaker reset, which makes it unusual. Instead, press On/Off two times; that removes the F0E1 code and restores the cooking zone. JennAir then suggests trying the cookware on a different zone, or switching to other cookware.

If it comes back with a good pan

Put a pot you know to be magnetic and the right size on the zone, and clear the code the same way. If F0E1 reappears even then, the source offers nothing further for owners, so contact a technician.
