Quick answer

E2 on a Miele cooktop shows overheating protection working to protect coils and electronic module heat sinks.

At a glance

Code E2
What it means Overheating protection active: Booster off, power reduced or cooking zones switched off.
What you can check Rule out the causes first: do not heat empty cookware, avoid fat or oil on a high power level, and make sure the underside of the hob is ventilated.
When to call a technician Should E2 come back after you deal with the cause, a technician needs to look at the hob rather than you running it repeatedly.
  • the cookware being heated is empty;
  • fat or oil is heated on a high power level;
  • the underside of the hob is poorly ventilated;
  • a hot cooking zone comes back on after a power cut.

Effects you may notice

E2 flashes in the zone displays. Any Booster in use is turned off, the power level can drop, and cooking zones may shut off on their own, all to protect the induction coils and electronic module heat sinks.

Next step

Deal with whichever cause applies. Should the protection come on again after that, Miele says to contact its Customer Service.
