Meaning
Severity
Common Symptom
E0
Safety Valve Stuck Closed
High
Turning any knob produces the spark sequence, but no gas reaches the burner — there is no smell of gas and the spark cannot light anything.
View
E1
Thermocouple Circuit Open
Medium
A burner ignites normally but extinguishes 3–10 seconds after releasing the knob, as the safety system cannot confirm flame presence.
View
E2
Control Knob Encoder Fault
Low
Rotating the control knob produces unexpected changes in flame height — small turns cause large power jumps or the burner does not respond at all.
View
F1
Ignition Module Failure
Medium
Turning any burner knob produces no clicking spark sound from any igniter electrode on the rangetop.
View
F2
Gas Pressure Abnormality
High
Burner flames are noticeably smaller or larger than normal, not adjusting properly across the power range.
View
F3
Burner Flame Instability
Medium
The flame on one or more burners visibly pulses, sputters, or changes height erratically during operation.
View
F5
Simmer Control Malfunction
Low
Turning the simmer burner knob to its low-power range produces no change in flame height — the burner stays at a fixed output.
