On this coast that chain fails at the same place — the ribbon where it turns under the glass — and the repair is the same modest one. ### 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 - Clear and dry the whole control area; this pair of codes is provoked by liquid as often as by a component. - Power down at the breaker for a minute. A single occurrence after a spill does not need a technician. - If it persists, say which of the two codes you are seeing and whether it changes. The distinction is information rather than a formality. ### 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 Er31 means on this make The maker publishes this alongside its companion code for the same class of condition, and the pair is worth taking as a pair: which of the two appears tells a technician where in the key-reading chain the machine lost its footing, and both point at the panel, its ribbon and the connection to the board rather than at the cooking electronics.
