What A2
actually means.
A2 on a Dacor Modernist induction cooktop means the fan motor is not working. Dacor explains that the DC motor cannot run because of a board problem, wiring, or something blocking the fan blade.

What to do when A2 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.

Shows up asCooktop Fan Runs Constantly

What not to do
