Error code61
ApplianceCooktop
What 61 stands for
The left front inductor has a temperature sensor that reads too hot. The wording is from sheet 318200282, Rev B, for 30-inch ceramic glass induction cooktops with ESEC-UIB control; no generation or model is stated.
Five actions, in sequence
Confirm the cooktop ventilation is right: airway and fan.
Confirm the inductor’s white isolation material is whole and covers it entirely.
Confirm the inductor temperature sensor is connected the right way to the induction housing assembly.
If the sensor resistor does not sit near 1000 ohms (blue wires) at room temperature, fit a new inductor.
Last, fit a new associated generator circuit board.
Code 51: a left front sensor break instead of an overheat
