What F0EA
actually means.
F0EA is KitchenAid's broad overheat code for induction. Its page lists three causes that owners can check: the cooktop lacks the ventilation its installation instructions call for, an empty pot was heated, or something is resting on the controls.

What to do when F0EA 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 Fan Runs Constantly
The cooling fan under an induction or touch-control cooktop keeps running long after cooking, or a downdraft blower will not shut off or retract.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from KitchenAid's own guidance for F0EA on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the zone off, take the pan away and let the cooktop cool.
If you heated an empty pan, add food or liquid before starting again; clear anything off the control area.
Reset the breaker for one minute; if F0EA returns, book a visit and mention how the cooktop is installed.

What not to do
F0EA does not point to one failed part. It is a heat warning with several everyday causes, and the installation's ventilation is one of them.
