What to do when F4 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 F4 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the cooktop off and let it cool; touch any control to clear the display.
Check that the drawer below is not packed against the fan inlet before you cook again.
If F4 appears during light cooking, book a visit to check the cooling fan and airflow.

What not to do
F4 is not a loss of power from the house; the cooktop is choosing to hold the zones off. It also does not mean one zone failed, since every zone stops at once.
