What F8
actually means.
F8 appears when a zone has been left at one setting for an extended period. Gaggenau's automatic time limit switches it off; H or h next to it marks residual heat.

What to do when F8 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
Touch any control, then set the zone again.
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 F8 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Touch any control, then set the zone again.
Keep hands off the glass while the residual heat marker is lit next to F8.
Book a visit only if F8 appears soon after you started cooking.
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
F8 is not overheating and not a failed coil. The time limit, not a sensor, ended the cooking session.
