Using a Berlin induction electric stovetop - I keep getting the error E1 and my landlord didn't leave me a user manual. Does anyone know what this means?

Question edited for clarity.

E1 means the unit doesn't detect cookware on its' surface.

Miele cooktop induction KM 6350, 6380, 6382, 6383 dE mode
How to switch off demonstration mode
Press ‘power’ button on front and ‘lock’ bottom at same time until you get p5 mode displaying ( it is in programming) mode.
Then press top left to ‘0’, bottom left panel to ‘0’, then press right bottom panel to 9, then press on ‘power’ button to save. This should take it off demonstration mode.

Check to see if the control has been changed to C* instead of F*

always unplug electricity before attempting to repair on any electrical appliance

new ovens and electronics have error codes programmed in, my new stove does, you need to call an electrician and tell them the exact beeping issue and this will give them an idea on what may be wrong. In the meantime see if the manual it came with has a trouble shooting or error code page, or go to http://www.maytag.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/OCManualsLiteratureSearchResultView?catalogId=10562&langId=-1&storeId=10212

Thank you for your post, friend!

I understand that your Electrolux cooktop is flashing an "E21" error code. Based off the information I was able to look up it sounds like a possible issue within the left board. I would suggest seeking assistance from a technician for proper repair because some of these intricate parts do require precision and patience. Therefore when replacing the exchange of electrical components or removing them from your appliance, I always suggest seeking professional assistance. -Matt

An E1 reading typically means that your PIC does not detect
cookware on its surface. This can occur for one of two
reasons.
1. Have you placed a pot or pan on the unit? The induction
coils contained within the PIC will only work when they are
in direct contact with a piece of cookware. To maintain your
appliance's effectiveness, always ensure that it rests on a flat
surface and that contact is consistent with your cookware.

I have the same problem, and resetting the breaker didn't work. There is no child lock on my unit that I can find. Was your issue ever fixed? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Just change big fuses in box.

I had that happen once and it went off after a day. I'd suggest maybe turning off the breaker and wait a few minutes and turn it back on. But here's my problem for you. I got the 30" model in March, 2008. The problem I've had is that the induction units cool down and start cycling when I'm cooking something like bacon, or pork chops etc., ie. where you're trying to brown something or sear. They cycle up and down every couple of minutes, so its really annoying. They work fine if I'm boiling water for pasta or sauces, etc. Have you experienced this. I've been working with the dealer and the company and they say its a "software" problem, but they've haven't taken them off the market. I use All-Clad stainless steel pans so that's not the issue. Thanks for your comments.
