Cooktop beeping/alarm sounding

If your cooktop is beeping or the alarm keeps sounding, start by checking the display for a fault code. A code is usually the cooktop's way of identifying the problem, so write it down and compare it with the owner's manual or the manufacturer's fault-code information. The next most likely cause is a recent power outage or electrical interruption. The cooktop may beep, flash, or display a code such as PO or PF after power is restored. Turn the circuit breaker off for several minutes, then turn it back on to reset the cooktop, or follow the reset instructions in your manual. If the cooktop continues beeping after the reset, the user control and display board, main control board, touchpad, or wire harness may need testing. A failed control board can cause false alarms, but confirm the fault code and wiring before ordering parts. Repair Clinic carries replacement parts for many range and cooktop brands. Enter your model number to find the exact control panel, control board, or other replacement part for your specific cooktop.
