What F1
actually means.
F1 is a communication code on the FCIND: the display board has lost contact with the left main control board for the zone showing the code. ZLINE's first step is a breaker reset, and after that the connection or a board needs a technician.

What to do when F1 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 ZLINE's own guidance for F1 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the cooktop's breaker off, wait a minute and switch it back on.
If F1 comes back, book a visit and note which zone shows it.
Leave the zone showing F1 unused until it has been checked.
What not to do
F1 is not a pan or overheating message, so letting the cooktop cool or changing pans will not clear it. It also does not mean the cooktop has lost power entirely, because the display board is still running and reporting the lost contact.
