Thermador shows F5 when hot cookware is near the control panel. Flashing with the power level, it is a warning; with a tone alone, the zone has switched off. Thermador range display What to do when F5 shows on the range ### Kind of code Surface elements and induction A radiant element, a coil or an induction zone did not heat the way the control expected, or ran hotter than it should. The pan, the switch behind the knob and the wiring to the element come first; on induction, the power board and the coil under the glass are checked next. A zone that will not switch off, or a crack in the glass, means the breaker goes off before anything else. ### Usually leads to Surface element and glass top repair Electric zones that stay cold, run too hot or will not switch off, and cracked or damaged glass on radiant and induction models. ### Shows up as Range Surface Element Not Heating One coil or glass-top zone on an electric range stays cold, heats only weakly, or will not respond while the others work. ### Make Thermador A luxury BSH brand selling Pro Harmony and Pro Grand ranges in gas, dual-fuel and induction versions. ### Source Thermador "Ranges - Error Codes" support page Thermador lists F5 for its induction ranges and cooktops alike. ## Before you book, in this order.

Move the hot pan off the control area. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does F5 appear when I rest a lid near the Thermador controls? A hot lid or pan near the panel can heat the electronics beneath it. ### Does F5 mean I damaged my Thermador range? No. It is a protective warning; moving the pan clears it. --- **[Read on the site: Thermador induction range showing F5 | RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/error-codes/thermador-f5/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
