Bertazzoni Cooktop E2 Error Code

On a Bertazzoni induction hob, E2 is the manual’s code for a high temperature at the IGBT sensor.

IGBT, in one paragraph

The term stands for insulated-gate bipolar transistor. It is a switching part among the electronics that feed the coils beneath the cooking zones, and a sensor watches its temperature. The manual gives no causes, so none are suggested here.

Owner steps

1. Switch the hob off and stop cooking.
2. Allow it to cool.
3. Switch it back on.

This restart-after-cooling instruction is the whole remedy in the table.

When E2 comes back

Treat a returning code as a job for a technician. Bertazzoni states that opening the hob can be dangerous and can damage it, and says to go to the supplier for service.

Codes to compare

• E1: the same kind of high reading, taken at the glass plate sensor
• F4: a failed sensor on the mainboard, answered by replacing the board

Questions about E2

Why not guess at the cause? The table prints a fault and a remedy in a single line and lists no causes.

Do I need tools? No. The owner steps above need none.

Is E2 the same as E1? Both are high temperature readings with a restart after cooling, but E1 comes from the glass plate sensor and E2 from the IGBT sensor.
