What to do when E8205 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 Thermador's own guidance for E8205 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the cooking sensor function off and on again.
Check the sensor battery, since a weak cell can make the link drop.
If the link keeps dropping, book a visit.
What not to do
E8205 is not a sensor that has failed outright; that is E8206. It is a lost link between the sensor and the cooktop.
