What E1
actually means.
On a Wolf CT induction cooktop, E1 means the ambient temperature the electronics measure is too high. It is a heat protection report rather than a burned-out part, and it often follows long cooking at high power in a tight cabinet.

What to do when E1 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 Fan Runs Constantly
The cooling fan under an induction or touch-control cooktop keeps running long after cooking, or a downdraft blower will not shut off or retract.
