What E_03
actually means.
KitchenAid's E_03 page for induction is about the control area: an object, liquid or soil pressing on the panel causes the code. Spills that run toward the keys during a boil-over are a common source.

What to do when E_03 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 KitchenAid's own guidance for E_03 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Wipe the control area clean and dry and remove anything resting on it.
Reset the breaker for one minute and let the cooktop cool before using it again.
If E_03 shows on a clean panel, book a visit.

E_03 does not mean the induction coils failed. The problem is at the keys.
