On the labor we performed

What moves it

Why two of the same job cost different amounts

These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.

  • Which code, and when

    E2 under load, E2 from cold and a latched U400 are three different conversations.

  • Whether it is the installation

    The maker's own first suggestion for E2 is ventilation, and it is often the answer.

  • Coil, sensor or board

    Three parts behind one dead zone, separated with a meter rather than by substitution.

  • How many zones

    One dead zone is local. All of them is supply, connection or the generator.

  • Board lead time

    A control for a hand-built appliance can ship from France, and that is said before the order.

What we actually do

The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.

    Induction hob repair

    The three codes La Cornue documents anywhere all live here: E2, the electronics are too hot; U400, the cooker is incorrectly connected; Er with a number, an internal problem the user cannot clear. Everything else on that display is an indicator, and telling the two apart saves a visit.

    • E2 is investigated as ventilation first, as the maker's own guide says
    • Indicators — H, the pan-missing symbol, L, A, P — are not problems
    • Zone-by-zone testing with pans that meet the minimum diameters

About La Cornue induction hob repair cost

Indicators are not codes, and this display has more of the first

The hob shows the pan-missing symbol, H for residual heat, A for automatic heat-up, L for child lock, L1 and L2 for the simmer settings and P for boost. None of those is a problem. Exactly three things on that display are — E2, U400 and Er — and a good share of industry-wide calls about dead cooktops are an L somebody's child switched on. Reading the display properly is free, it is the first thing we do, and it is occasionally the whole visit.

Questions about La Cornue induction hob repair cost

Can you not just reset it?

We can, and on E2 we will not leave it at that. E2 is a protection: the electronics reached their limit and shut down to survive. Clearing it and handing the range back means the next person to see it is quoting for a generator board. If the cause is the air path we say what it is and what it should be; if the installation is genuinely correct and it still trips, that is a part and we say that with the measurements.

Is a dead zone always the coil?

No, and this is where measurement earns its money. A dead zone can be the coil, its temperature sensor, or one channel of the generator, and all three look identical from above. It can also be the pan — a base below the minimum diameter for that zone will not couple at all, which is why the visit starts with a proper pan and a tape measure.
