BlueStar sells 30- and 36-inch X-8 gas cooktops, a 36-inch induction cooktop and gas rangetops from 30 to 60 inches with griddle, charbroiler or French top sections. Its TOUCH induction cooktop reports problems with short codes such as E2, E8 and U400 in the display.

BlueStar's tops divide into open-burner RNB rangetops, Platinum rangetops, X-8 sealed-burner cooktops and the TOUCH induction cooktop (BSP36INDTOUCH). The gas lines share burner and spark parts, while the induction cooktop has its own boards and codes. ### Rangetops up to 60 inches BlueStar builds RNB and Platinum rangetops as wide as 60 inches, with a 12- or 24-inch griddle, charbroiler or French top beside the burners. A wide rangetop means several valves, spark lines and a separate griddle control under one top. ### Very low to very high on one burner BlueStar lists its X-8 sealed burners from 25,000 down to 500 BTU. That wide span depends on clean ports and a well-seated cap, so a simmer that will not hold is often a cleaning or seating issue before it is a valve. ### The induction fan runs on On the TOUCH induction cooktop, the cooling fan keeps running after the cooktop is switched off to protect the electronics, and BlueStar says this is not a failure. An E8 code, by contrast, means the fan's air inlet is blocked. ### H, U and II are not failures The TOUCH display uses letters for normal states: H for a zone still hot, U or u for keep-warm or a missing pan, and II for the Stop and Go pause. Reading these right avoids a visit that was never needed. Parts Burner heads, igniters and valves for current gas tops are regular repair parts. Boards for the TOUCH induction cooktop are model-specific and may be ordered after the first visit. Repair or replace BlueStar gas tops are simple, serviceable designs, and most problems are an igniter, a valve or a burner that needs cleaning. For the induction cooktop, a failed electrical system (the E code) is where replacement deserves a look. Book your BlueStar visit ## What we are called out for. On BlueStar, most often cooktop burner won't light.

BlueStar says the fan runs on by itself to protect the electronics and stops automatically, so this is not a failure. If you see E8 instead, clear whatever is blocking the fan's air inlet under the cooktop. ### What does E2 mean on a BlueStar induction cooktop? E2 means the cooktop has overheated. Turn the zones off and let it cool before cooking again; if E2 comes back during normal use, book a visit. ### My BlueStar induction cooktop shows U400. Is it broken? BlueStar's manual says U400 appears when the cooktop is not properly connected to the electrical supply. Have the connection checked; switch the breaker off before anyone opens the junction box. ### Does a BlueStar rangetop griddle use its own control? The griddle, charbroiler or French top sits beside the burners on RNB and Platinum rangetops and has its own section of the top. When only that section fails, we test its parts separately from the burners. --- **[Read on the site: BlueStar Cooktop Repair | CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/brands/bluestar/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
