Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Hestan's own guidance for ER03 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Replace the battery in the Cue pan.

02

Let the Cue pan cool before you open it to change the battery.

03

If ER03 stays with a fresh battery in the pan, book a visit.

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

ER03 is not a burner or rangetop problem. It is a low battery warning from the Cue pan.

What you may
notice with it.

The cooktop problems ER03 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

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.

Questions
about ER03.

Can I clear ER03 myself?
Replace the battery in the Cue pan.
Where is the battery Hestan means by ER03?
In the Cue pan, which needs its own battery to connect to the burner.
Will ER03 stop my Hestan burner from working?
It warns before the pan link fails. Change the battery to avoid an ER02.
Can I put off the battery change after ER03 on a Hestan KRTS Smart Burner?
Hestan's only instruction for ER03 is to replace the battery in the Cue pan. A low battery left in place can end in a lost Bluetooth link, which shows as ER02.

Still showing ER03?

Book with the code copied exactly, the full model number, and whether there is any smell of gas or burning — with a code in hand, that is where the diagnosis starts.
