What F3
actually means.
F3 means the coil temperature sensor for the zone showing the code is not working. Without that reading the cooktop cannot protect the coil, so the zone is stopped until the sensor is replaced.

What to do when F3 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 ZLINE's own guidance for F3 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Try one breaker reset.
Cook on another zone only if it shows no code, and keep the F3 zone switched off.
If F3 stays, stop using that zone and book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into induction board and coil repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
F3 is not the same as the cooktop running hot. It reports the sensor itself, not the temperature it measures.

Book with the code copied exactly, the full model number, and whether there is any smell of gas or burning — with a code in hand, that is where the diagnosis starts.
