What to do when u shows on the cooktopKind of codeMode, not a failure
A state the cooktop was put in, or one it picked deliberately — a child lock, a demo mode that lights the keys but heats nothing, a residual-heat letter over a zone that is still warm, a prompt that no pan has been found. Nothing has broken and no part is called for.
Usually leads toNo repair
Place an induction-compatible pan, one a magnet sticks to, on the zone.
Shows up asInduction Cooktop Not Detecting Pan
An induction zone flashes a pan symbol, beeps, or switches itself off even though a pot is sitting squarely on it.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from BlueStar's own guidance for u on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Place an induction-compatible pan, one a magnet sticks to, on the zone.
Use a pan with a base large enough for the zone.
Book a visit if a known good pan still shows u.
Cleared?
The cooktop came right without a new part. If the same message returns while a zone or burner is on, or the top shuts itself down again mid-meal, treat it as a fresh problem and book it.
What not to do
u is not a failure; the cooktop is waiting for a suitable pan. A capital U can also mean Keep Warm.
