Nine codes, A1 to A7, EX05 and EX01, share one overheating label and one 30-minute reset on Fisher & Paykel modular cooktops.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so A1 / A2 / A3 / A4 … may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Fisher & Paykel groups A1 through A7, EX05 and EX01 under a single overheating error for its modular cooktops.
Short answer
If a Fisher & Paykel modular cooktop shows A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, EX05 or EX01, the manufacturer’s support article treats every one of them as an overheating error. One procedure covers all nine.
Check that no pan or utensil is resting on the display or the power button.
Hold the power button down until the cooktop turns off.
Wait 30 minutes without touching it.
Turn it on again.
What the article does not tell you
Nothing in it explains how A1 differs from A4, or EX05 from EX01. Fisher & Paykel does not rank the codes or name causes; they point to the same problem.
About the half hour
Among the article’s tips is a note that certain codes call for the appliance to cool down completely before its electronics are reset. The 30 minutes is part of the listed reset, so do not shorten it.
Keep cookware off the controls
The control area is among the places the cooktop monitors for heat, so the article lists cookware sitting over the display or power button as the first thing to eliminate. Pushing pans toward the cooking zones, away from the controls, is free and easy.
If the code returns
The article’s answer after a repeat is to book a service repair. It gives no further owner step.
Codes with a different fix
F1, F2 and F3 are a voltage error from the same article, reset after only 30 seconds.
EX03, EX04 and F4 to F13 are listed as board or software errors, with service as the only remedy.
