What F2
actually means.
F2 says the control electronics, not the glass, got too warm and the zone they feed was turned off. On a Bosch gas cooktop or rangetop the same F2 means the ignition electronics are too hot, so automatic lighting stops working for a while.

What to do when F2 shows on the cooktopKind of codeTemperature and overheat sensors
A sensor under the glass or on a board reported a reading the control rejected, or heat climbing past the safe limit — often after an empty pan was left on a zone. The zone is allowed to cool and a loose sensor plug is ruled out before the sensor, the coil assembly or the board is blamed. A top that keeps getting hotter is switched off at the breaker first.
Usually leads toInduction board and coil repair
Induction zones that stop sensing pans, cut out, buzz or show codes, traced to the power boards, the coils, their sensors and the links to the controls.
Shows up asCooktop Element Not Heating
A coil stays black, a radiant ring under the glass never glows, or a zone warms so weakly that a pot of water will not boil.

Bosch lists F2 for electric and induction cooktops, and for gas cooktops and rangetops when automatic ignition stops. On induction models it shares a row with E7015 and E8207.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bosch's own guidance for F2 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Wait for the electronics to cool, then touch any key; the zone can be used again once the code clears.
Keep drawer contents at least ¾ inch (20 mm) below the fan inlet, as the Bosch NIT8661UC manual asks.
Check the space below the cooktop: a drawer packed against the underside can starve the cooling fan. If F2 keeps returning, book a visit.

What not to do
F2 is not a pan-detection message and not a burner that is out of gas. It is about heat inside the unit.

Bosch cooktop repair
Gas cooktop
A gas cooking surface dropped into a countertop cutout, with its gas line and power cord running down into the cabinet underneath.
Electric cooktop
A coil or smooth-glass radiant cooking surface built into the countertop and wired to its own circuit in the cabinet or wall behind it.
Induction cooktop
A glass cooktop in the counter that heats the pan itself through magnetic coils, run by power boards and cooled by a fan underneath.
In Bosch's own words
The electronics have overheated. The corresponding cooking zone has been switched off.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Bosch lists F2 for electric and induction cooktops, and for gas cooktops and rangetops when automatic ignition stops. On induction models it shares a row with E7015 and E8207.
