What E2
actually means.
On Smeg's SIMU induction cooktops, E2 comes with a two-part check from Smeg: the pan has to be suitable for induction, and it must not be empty. A dry or unsuitable pan lets the zone run hot, and the cooktop stops it and asks you to let it cool.

What to do when E2 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 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 Smeg's own guidance for E2 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the zone off and let the cooktop cool down.
Check that the pan is induction-ready and has food or liquid in it before trying again.
If E2 keeps returning with a suitable, filled pan, book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into induction board and coil repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
On a Smeg ceramic cooktop the same E2 means something else, a key problem, so check which type you own before reading on. Nor is it a supply or wiring message, since Smeg's own remedy is a suitable pan with something in it and time to cool.
