What to do when u_ shows on the cooktopKind of codeMode, not a failure
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.
Usually leads toNo repair
Use a magnetic pan large enough to fill the space between the zone markings.
Shows up asInduction Cooktop Not Detecting Pan
An induction zone flashes a pan symbol, beeps, or switches itself off even though a pot is sitting squarely on it.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for u_ on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Use a magnetic pan large enough to fill the space between the zone markings.
Center the pan so it covers the innermost marking of the zone.
If u_ shows with a known-good 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
u_ is not an error in the coil. It is the zone asking for the right pan.
What you may
notice with it.
