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.

What to do when P 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
Use a normal heat setting for now and let the cooktop cool down.

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.
Use a normal heat setting for now and let the cooktop cool down.
Try PowerBoost again later.
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.
