What F5
actually means.
F5 is the Gaggenau warning for hot cookware near the control area. With the heat level still showing, it is a caution; with only a tone, the zone has switched off to protect the electronics.

What to do when F5 shows on the cooktopKind of codeTouch controls and keys
A key on the glass was held down too long, pressed with nothing there, or stopped answering altogether. Water, a spill or a pan resting on the key strip is ruled out first, then the touch board and its ribbon cable. If a zone keeps heating while the keys are dead, switch the cooktop off at the breaker.
Usually leads toTouch 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 asCooktop 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Gaggenau's own guidance for F5 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Move the pan away from the controls; if the zone stopped, wait a few seconds and touch any control.
Rest hot lids on a trivet or the counter rather than beside the control area.
If F5 shows with the control area empty and cool, book a visit.
What not to do
F5 is not a broken control and not a pan-detection message. It is triggered by hot cookware sitting close to the controls.
