It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display. ### The other ways your machine may say it The same condition is published under more than one label, because it has been carried across generations of this appliance: - **F2, F4, E7015, E8207, E8208** — the same condition, on machines of different ages ### What the code covers A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers: - The power electronics beneath the cooking surface - The ventilation gap that is supposed to cool them ### What to try yourself - Wait until it cools, touch any control and carry on - Open the drawer underneath and see how full it is - Check whether anything was added under the counter recently ### Then what The appliance is protecting itself, and the thing worth fixing is usually why it keeps having to. A drawer packed to the top, or a counter rebuilt around an existing cooktop, removes the air gap the installation instructions require. One code appears on cooktops and another on ranges; the cause is the same. This code is published for cooktops & rangetops and ranges.
