A touch control that reads continuous pressure on one key concludes that something is resting on it and refuses further input — which is correct behavior, not a failure. A cloth left across the controls, a pan pushed too far forward, a boil-over that has pooled on the glass, even a heavy spoon: any of them will do it. The top is telling you it is being leaned on. ### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all. ### Which machines this one applies to induction cooktops. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 4 of the appliance types this site publishes — bbq grill, cooktop, oven and range — and publishes none at all for bbq grill, beverage center, outdoor kitchen appliance, range and range hood. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door. ### What to do about it - Take everything off the glass, including anything hanging over from the worktop behind. - Wipe the control area dry. A film of liquid reads as a finger on this technology. - If it clears, nothing is wrong. If it returns with the glass bare and dry, then the panel itself is worth testing — and that is a different and still-not-expensive repair. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 526-4714](tel:+13055264714) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything. induction cooktops What this one means What Er03 means on this make The cheapest code on this site and the one owners are most relieved by.
