Hotpoint BE72 Ceramic Hob - Overhjeats and goes into error. Have to switch off and allow to cool before being able to use again.

Error F14 on a Hotpoint induction hob typically indicates a problem with the touch control panel. Here are a few things you can try to fix this error:

1. Disconnect the power supply to the hob for a few minutes, then reconnect it and see if the error persists.
2. Try cleaning the touch control panel with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or grime that may be causing the error.
3. If the problem persists, you may need to reset the touch control panel. To do this, you will need to locate the reset button, which is usually located underneath the hob or inside the control panel. Press and hold the reset button for a few seconds, then release it and see if the error persists.

If these steps don't fix the problem, it's possible that the touch control panel is faulty and will need to be replaced. You may need to contact a professional for this repair.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

The 'H' symbols will flash in the display the first time your hob is connected and switched on. This is because the hob has been heat tested at the factory, then switched off while still hot. This may also happen if you are using the hob and you have a power cut.

Error code F1 indicates that the power is too low due to unsuitable cookware or an empty pot. Error code F indicates that there is no cookware on the zone or the cookware is unsuitable.

If the lights are coming on there is a great possibility that your plate needs replacement. Unfortunately electronic items usually don't come with any warranties, so make sure it is the plate before purchasing a new replacement. Regards bandha

Try turning off the power for a short while to allow the p c board to re set itself turn it back on and individually turn on each elements for a few minutes. Good luck

An SE error message on the display of a Samsung ceramic hob means the control panel sensor has been on for too long.
There are a few reasons why the sensor could be saying it's been on for too long:

• Touching the key area for more than 10 seconds.
• Leaving a wet cloth on the touch key area.
• Spilling a liquid on the key area.
• By touching 2 or more keys together. All of these can be fixed by turning the hob power off at the wall, then back on again.

No you have permanently defaced it.

Hi i had the same problem the L means Locked after lots of combinations of button pressing it is the - button in the middle and the 4th RING front right togeather that will unlock it took a couple of goes so persevere

gud day,the ceramic hob is very sensitive to operate if u not read the manual.after u unlock the switch go to the control of the hob wat area u want to operate by touching the sensor then if u see the zero # touch again the area,positive side to increase the heat 1-9 the standard control heat.some model & brand have a different operational procedure,try to read the manual 1st or check the voltage of the unit coz the ceramic have a 4voltage standard for different country. tnx gerbee

hi im gerbee my suggestion is replace the pcv control wat brand u have,always also in philipines the electric hob is so very sensitive,the pcv cotrol is not repairable.or next time u by a new one gas cooktop more ok compare to electric ceramic hob, or use electric ceramic hob w/knob control compare to sensor type,i think the part of the sensor or pcv control is so very expensive,that why i buy an another one.dont try to repair more difficult to com.tnx

its normal for the ceramic hob to ON & OFF coz of the sensor inside the unit to protect for overheating.same here in phillipines.its normal.tnx gerbee
