What F Means

A flashing F in a cook zone display on an Electrolux induction cooktop means the pan was not detected, and the pan does not heat. Electrolux lists unsuitable cookware, a pan too small for the zone, and, less often, a coil that is not correctly connected or sits too far below the glass.

Common Causes of F

  • Pan not induction-compatible
  • Pan too small for the zone
  • Coil connection loose
  • Coil not touching the glass

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan; if it does not stick firmly, the pan will not work on induction. Center the pan and use a zone that suits its size.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • Coil connections are under the glass.
  • Coil position must be restored when the top is refitted.

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.
