What F1
actually means.
On a Gaggenau induction cooktop, F1 or F6 means a single zone went past its temperature limit. The cooktop stops that zone so the stone or wood around the cutout is not exposed to the heat.

What to do when F1 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Gaggenau's own guidance for F1 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Leave the zone off until the electronics have cooled, then switch it on again.
Start again with food or liquid in the pan and a moderate setting.
If F1 or F6 returns under normal cooking, book a visit.

What not to do
This is not the warning about a pan near the twist pad or controls; Gaggenau uses F5 for that. It is about one zone's temperature.
