What F8
actually means.

What to do when F8 shows on the rangeKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the range was told to do, or a state it chose on purpose — a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a demo mode that lights the display but never heats, a pan warning on an induction zone. Nothing has worn out, and no part is needed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for F8 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Touch any control element.
Set the zone again and keep cooking.
Cleared?
The range was set right without a new part. If the same message comes back while a burner or the oven is in use, or the range cuts out again, treat it as a new problem and book it.
What not to do
F8 is a safety feature, not a failure.

Mode, not a failure on other makes
Gas range
Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
Induction range
A glass top that heats the pan itself through copper coils and power boards, over an electric oven, with electronics doing almost all the work.
In Thermador's own words
The cooking zone has been operating continuously for an extended period of time without interaction.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Only Thermador's induction models show F8; the gas and dual-fuel ranges do not have an induction top.
