C marks a problem condition. On these cooktops an error in any zone is reported as C0 in zone 1 or 2 on the left, and it replaces HE if that zone is hot. Frigidaire cooktop display · also shown as C What to do when C0 shows on the cooktop ### Kind of code Boards and communication The touch board and the power board under the glass lost track of each other, or one failed its own start-up check. A power dip, a ribbon or harness pulled loose when the top was fitted, or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a cooktop that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Touch control repair Glass touch keys and sliders that ignore a finger, start zones by themselves or stay locked, traced to the keys, the control board or the lock setting. ### Shows up as Cooktop Controls Unresponsive Touch keys or a slider do nothing, the display lights but ignores every press, or a knob turns without starting its burner or element. ### Make Frigidaire One of the most common US kitchen makes, found in many homes and rentals with a built-in cooktop. ### Source Frigidaire Professional induction cooktop (PCCI3080AF) user manual Knob-controlled Frigidaire Professional induction cooktops (the manual linked from the PCCI3080AF page); each knob has its own small display. ## Before you book, in this order.

Turn the knobs to OFF to reset the surface controls. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does C0 appear on the left knob even if I used a right zone? Frigidaire reports an error in any zone through zone 1 or 2 on the left side. ### Is C0 something I can fix at home? Only the knob reset. If that does not clear it, it needs a technician. ### What does a plain C mean on a Frigidaire Professional knob display? Frigidaire uses C to mark a problem condition, and on these cooktops the error is shown as C0 in zone 1 or 2. The knob reset is the only step the manual leaves to the owner. When the code survives that reset, a technician needs to find which zone reported it. --- **[Read on the site: Frigidaire Professional induction cooktop showing C or C0](https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/frigidaire-c0/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
