--- title: "Fisher and Paykel induction cooktop flashing P" description: "What P means on Fisher and Paykel induction cooktop flashing Ps, what to check before booking, and when it is not a failure at all." url: "https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-p/" --- # Fisher and Paykel induction cooktop flashing P A flashing P when you try to set PowerBoost on a Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop means the boost is temporarily held back. ## What P actually means. A flashing P when you try to set PowerBoost on a Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop means the boost is temporarily held back. The cooktop does this to protect itself from overheating, and it returns once things cool. Fisher & Paykel cooktop display What to do when P shows on the cooktop ### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair Use a normal heat setting for now and let the cooktop cool down. ### Shows up as Cooktop Element Only Heats on High An element works at full power but does nothing at medium or low, or it jumps between full heat and none with nothing in between. ### Make Fisher & Paykel A New Zealand–founded maker, now owned by Haier, that sells cooktops and rangetops in the US. ### Source Fisher & Paykel induction cooktop user guide (CI122DTB to CI365DTB), Troubleshooting Fisher & Paykel induction cooktops CI122DTB, CI244DTB, CI304DTB and CI365DTB, per the US user guide. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for P on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Use a normal heat setting for now and let the cooktop cool down. 02 Try PowerBoost again later. 03 Book a visit if P flashes on a cold cooktop. ### 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 A flashing P is not an error code and does not mean a coil has failed. It means PowerBoost is held back while the cooktop cools. ## What you may notice with it. The cooktop problems P tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.

Use a normal heat setting for now and let the cooktop cool down. ### Why can I not use PowerBoost on my Fisher and Paykel cooktop right now? The cooktop is protecting itself from heat after hard use, so it flashes P and holds back the boost. Let it cool and try again. ### Is a flashing P a sign my Fisher and Paykel cooktop needs repair? Not after heavy cooking. It is worth a visit only if P shows on a cooktop that has been off and cool. ### Why does P flash on a Fisher and Paykel CI365DTB when I press PowerBoost? The cooktop is holding back PowerBoost to protect itself from overheating, and the flashing P tells you so. Cook at a normal setting until it cools, then try the boost again. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher and Paykel induction cooktop flashing P](https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-p/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
