What the cooktop is detecting
At power-up the cooktop checks how its supply conductors are connected. When the pattern does not match the required connection, it stores F0E7.
Causes listed for this condition
In the order the service documentation checks them. Documented causes come from the manufacturer's service documentation for these platforms; possible causes are based on how the system works; unconfirmed marks common assumptions that the documentation does not support.
- Documented Supply wires connected differently from the installation instructions.
Safe checks you can make
- If the cooktop was recently installed or had electrical work done, tell the installer or an electrician about the code, because it concerns the power connection.
This stage requires professional testing. Full diagnosis involves hazards such as live line voltage, gas, a sealed refrigerant system or microwave high voltage. Do not attempt it yourself.
What a technician checks
- This requires professional testing: correcting the connection means working on the 240-volt supply.
- Compares the connection with the installation instructions for the model.
Can you keep using it?
Stop using it until it is checked. Do not use the cooktop until the power connection is corrected by a qualified technician or electrician.

Repair or replace?
A fault code alone rarely justifies replacing a cooktop. Most F0E7 repairs involve a single component once diagnosed. Replacement becomes worth considering when the unit is near the end of its typical 13–17-year life and the diagnosed repair is a major one. See the repair-or-replace guide.
