F3 reports a failed coil temperature sensor on a Bertazzoni induction hob.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F3 is a coil temperature sensor failure, with E on the zone indicator.
What F3 reports
Under the glass of each induction cooking zone sits a coil. F3 says the temperature sensor for that coil has failed, and the zone indicator shows E.
One remedy
The manual gives no causes for F3. Its only line is replace the coil sensor, so the sensor is treated as the failed item. It is not a setting and not a cable you could reseat. No reset is listed, and cooling is not mentioned.
Owner checklist
Turn the hob off at its supply.
Do not go on using the affected zone.
Note which zone indicator shows E.
Keep the glass in place; the manual says dismantling the hob yourself can be dangerous and can damage it.
The job itself
A coil sensor swap means taking off the glass and working beside the coil. That is for a technician.
Questions
Can I still use the other zones? The manual is silent. Regard the zone with the E as out of use and put the question to the technician.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
