What F1
actually means.
F1 and F6 mean one cooking zone went past its safe temperature and switched off. Thermador ties it to the work surface around the cooktop rather than to the controls.

What to do when F1 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 Thermador's own guidance for F1 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the zone cool, then switch it back on and continue.
Avoid preheating an empty pan on that zone when you start again.
Book a visit if F1 or F6 shows up with normal pans and moderate settings.

What not to do
This is not the hot-pan-on-the-controls message, which is F5. It concerns one zone running hot, not the electronics that F2 and F4 cover.
