E45 is a temperature or power issue, and the only listed fix is a one-minute power-off.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so E45 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
The full-surface induction cooktop support article lists E45 as a temperature or power issue, reset by one minute without power.
Where E45 appears
E45 has a brief entry in Fisher & Paykel’s support article for the CI926DTB4 full-surface induction cooktop. It belongs to a set called “temperature or power issue”, along with E2, E21 and U400. Whether a given number is about temperature or about power is not spelled out; the set simply covers both.
Procedure
At the power supply, switch the cooktop off.
Leave it for a full minute.
Switch it on.
Should E45 appear again, the article advises booking a service repair.
Ventilation
For this group, the article’s tip is good ventilation around the cooktop to prevent overheating. No other environmental check is offered.
It also makes sense to let the glass cool before you remove power. The sources do not demand this for E45, but after a spell on high heat the cooktop is simpler to assess once it has settled.
Why there is so little here
The source offers no causes, says nothing about the number itself and has no second document that agrees with it. Cooktops from other lines may be explained differently in their own care guides, and the guides for the CI365, CI304, CI244, CI122, CI905, CI804, CI604 and CI302 series have no E45 row in their fault tables.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
