# KitchenAid induction cooktop showing FC E0

FC E0 brings the induction module into the picture.

## What FC E0 actually means.

FC E0 brings the induction module into the picture. KitchenAid lists the electrical supply, the associated wiring and the induction module itself, the board that drives the coils under the glass.

KitchenAid cooktop display

What to do when FC E0 shows on the cooktop

### Kind of code Induction power and coils

An induction zone could not drive its coil as the board planned: no pan was detected, the current ran too high or too low, or the power stage reported trouble. The pan base, the supply voltage and a clogged air intake are checked before the coil or the power board is replaced, and a top that trips its breaker is left switched off until then.

### Usually leads to Induction 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 as Cooktop 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.

## Questions about FC E0.

### Can I clear FC E0 myself?

Switch the breaker off for one minute, then back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is the induction module on a KitchenAid cooktop?

It is the power board that energizes the coils. KitchenAid names it, together with wiring and supply, for FC E0.

### Can FC E0 come from my home's wiring?

KitchenAid includes the electrical supply as a cause, so yes.

### Why does the induction module matter for FC E0 on a KitchenAid cooktop?

The induction module is the board that drives the coils, and KitchenAid lists it for FC E0 alongside the supply and the wiring. If the code returns after a one-minute reset, a technician checks all three.
