What is error code F or U in an AEG Induction Hob?

On an AEG induction hob, error codes ‘F’ or ‘U’ generally mean no compatible cookware is detected, usually because the pan was removed, is too small, or isn’t induction-ready; the fix is to place a suitable, flat, magnetic pan (like cast iron) correctly on the zone. If the issue persists after checking the pan, it could indicate a connection fault or sensor problem, requiring a service call.

The hob turns off and shows F or U if the cookware is lifted off the zone.

Using glass, copper, or non-magnetic stainless steel pots will trigger the code. Make sure your cookware is induction hob compatible.

The pan must be flat and cover most of the zone for proper contact.

Using ProCook with only one pan on a flexible zone will trigger this fault code.

Ensure the pan is induction compatible – test by making sure a magnet sticks firmly to the base – and that it has a flat bottom.

Place the pan centred on the zone, making sure it covers a large part of it.

Turn the zone off and on, briefly switch the hob off at the breaker to reset.
