What E01
actually means.
E01 on a Wolf CT electric cooktop means the ambient temperature at the power module is at or above its limit. Wolf says the code clears once the temperature falls back below that limit, which its thermistors see as under about 85°F.

What to do when E01 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.
