What to do when E8 shows on the cooktopKind of codeCooling fan and downdraft
The fan that pulls air through the electronics under an induction top, or the blower behind a downdraft vent, turned slower than the control expected or would not stop. A drawer packed tight against the chassis, a greasy filter and a loose plug come first; a worn motor or its speed sensor comes after.

The fan that cools an induction or touch-control cooktop's boards, and the downdraft vent that rises behind the cooking surface or pulls air down between the burners.
Shows up asCooktop Fan Runs Constantly

Clear anything blocking the fan's air inlet below the cooktop, such as items in a drawer or cabinet.

What not to do
E8 is not the normal fan run-on after cooking, which BlueStar calls expected. It means the ventilator's air inlet is obstructed.
