Fisher & Paykel Cooktop F213, F214, F215, F216 and E36 Error Code

These five codes carry one label in Fisher & Paykel’s article on F, A, E and U codes for freestanding cookers: sensor error. EA and E2 are in the same list.

Known and unknown

• Which sensor is meant: the article does not say.
• Whether the five numbers differ in meaning: not stated.
• Owner reset: none. Codes the article does not otherwise cover are to be handled by booking a service repair.
• Cutting power: the article cautions that switching off while the oven is too hot may harm the oven and the cabinets around it.

Where the source contradicts itself

F215 and F216 also show up in the electronic board or software list. That list includes a reset: let the cooling fans stop and the oven cool entirely, switch off at the supply, wait 30 seconds, restart. For F215 and F216, therefore, one attempt at that reset might be reasonable once everything is cold. F213, F214 and E36 have none. The double listing is not explained.

Background on sensors

A sensor in an oven or cooktop is a small part that sends a temperature or condition back to the control. If the control gets no reading, or an unexpected one, it shows a code and may stop heating. The article does not link these numbers to a location, so treat this as background and nothing more.

What you do

1. Turn off the cooker and wait for the oven to cool fully.
2. Record the code, then check it again; F213 and F215 are easy to mistake for each other.
3. Look up the model details and book service.
