What C82
actually means.
Maytag's C82 page is about cookware. A pan that is the wrong size, or one that has boiled dry, lets heat build in the glass until the automatic shutoff trips. Maytag asks for flat, medium-to-heavy pans whose base matches the cooking area to within half an inch.

What to do when C82 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 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 Maytag's own guidance for C82 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the area off and let it cool for about five minutes; switch off an oven below if it is running.
Use a flat-bottomed pan that matches the zone, and never heat one empty.
Reset the breaker for one minute; if C82 returns with proper cookware, book a visit.

It usually turns into induction board and coil repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
C82 is not a burned-out element. The cooktop shut the zone off to protect itself, and the pan is the first thing to change.
