What H Means
H in a zone display is normally the hot-surface indicator after cooking. Electrolux’s service manual lists a steady H when the zone is cold and switched off as a temperature sensor defect.
Common Causes of H
- Residual heat (normal)
- Zone temperature sensor failure (if the zone is cold)
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Wait for the glass to cool. If H stays on a zone that has not been used for hours, book service.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- Sensors are under the glass.
- H on a cold zone suggests the sensor readings are unreliable.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
