Bosch cooktop F2 overheated
The electronics overheated. Let the glass cool, then retry.
- Cooktop
- Overheated
- Let it cool
Bosch cooktop F2 means the cooktop electronics overheated and the zone switched off until the board cools. A covered vent, a hot pan left on the controls, or a long high-power run can trip F2 before any part has failed. Turn the zone off, let the glass cool, and clear anything blocking air under the cooktop. Retry the zone only after the surface is cool. Replace a board only if F2 returns on a cool cooktop with the vents clear.
