What F1 / F5 / FC
actually means.
SKS groups F1, F5 and FC under one line: the electronic control has detected a problem. It does not say what separates the three, so the exact code you saw is useful for the technician, and a power reset is the only home step.

What to do when F1 / F5 / FC shows on the cooktopKind of codeBoards and communication
The touch board and the power board under the glass lost track of each other, or one failed its own start-up check. A power dip, a ribbon or harness pulled loose when the top was fitted, or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a cooktop that keeps heating while this code shows is switched 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 SKS's own guidance for F1 / F5 / FC on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the cooktop off at the breaker, then back on, to clear the code.
Do not open the cooktop or touch its wiring while the breaker is off.
If the same code comes back, book a visit and note which of the three it was.
What not to do
These codes are not the pan-detection or hot-surface indications, which SKS treats as normal behavior. They also do not tell you which part has failed, because SKS gives all three a single meaning.
What you may
