The E2 error code on a Kenmore induction cooktop indicates the induction coil has exceeded its safe temperature limit. This is a thermal protection shutdown.
Causes
- Cooking at maximum power for extended periods
- Small cookware concentrating heat on the coil center
- Coil temperature sensor failure
What To Do
- Allow the cooktop to cool for 20–30 minutes before resuming cooking.
- Use appropriately sized cookware that matches the induction zone size.
- If E2 occurs regularly during normal cooking, the coil sensor requires professional testing.
