# ZLINE RCIND induction cooktop showing E4/E5

On the RCIND, E4 and E5 both mean a temperature sensor failure.

## What E4/E5 actually means.

On the RCIND, E4 and E5 both mean a temperature sensor failure. ZLINE sends owners to service for these, and a technician tests the sensor and its connection.

What to do when E4/E5 shows on the cooktop

### Kind of code Temperature 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 to Induction 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 as Cooktop 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.

### Make ZLINE

A US company that sells gas cooktops and rangetops, often bought online and installed by the owner's own contractor.

### Source ZLINE RCIND induction cooktop user manual

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from ZLINE's own guidance for E4/E5 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Switch the cooktop off at the breaker.

02

Leave the breaker off until the technician arrives, since ZLINE offers no home remedy for this pair.

03

Book a visit and give the exact code.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [induction board and coil repair](https://cooktoprepair.center/services/induction-board-and-coil-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

## Questions about E4/E5.

### Can I clear E4/E5 myself?

Switch the cooktop off at the breaker. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Can I reset E4 on a ZLINE RCIND myself?

ZLINE gives no home fix for this pair beyond contacting service. A breaker cycle will not repair a sensor.

### Does E5 on the ZLINE RCIND mean something different from E4?

The manual groups them under the same cause, a temperature sensor failure.

### What does a technician check for E4 or E5 on a ZLINE RCIND-36?

Both numbers point to a temperature sensor failure, so the sensor and its connection are tested first. Give the exact code anyway, since the manual lists the pair together and the technician starts from there.
