VERIFIED
Each cooking zone on an induction hob has a coil under the glass. F3 is Bertazzoni’s code for a failure of the coil temperature sensor, and the zone indicator shows E.
A short entry
The table has no list of possible causes for F3. It has a single remedy: replace the coil sensor. That tells you the manufacturer considers the sensor the failed item, not a setting or a cable you could re-seat.
What the owner can do
- Switch the hob off at its supply and do not keep using the affected zone.
- Note the zone whose indicator shows E.
- Resist taking the glass off. The manual warns that disassembling the hob yourself can create danger and damage the unit.
No reset is listed for this code, and cooling down is not mentioned.
What the repair is
Replacing a coil sensor means removing the glass and working next to the coil. A technician does that.
Owner questions
Can the other zones still be used? The manual does not say. The E on the indicator marks the zone concerned, so treat that zone as out of use and ask the technician about the rest.
Is F3 the same as E5? Both are sensor failures with an E on the zone indicator. E5 lists a cable or assembly cause, while F3 names the coil sensor.
Neighbouring codes
- F4: the sensor on the mainboard instead of the coil
- E5: a sensor failure with a loose-cable cause listed
