Candy ER03

Candy error code ER03 indicates: Candy Moderna / Idea / Smart Touch Induction Cooktop: Permanent touch key activation alarm ER03; liquid spill or cookware resting continuously on sensor controls..

The primary root cause for Candy code ER03 is: On Candy cooktops utilizing Moderna & Idea high-frequency induction power generator, electromagnetic pan detection, and capacitive touch interface: Heavy liquid overflow across touch buttons, conductive sauce splatter, or pan overhang onto glass touch zone..

To resolve error code ER03: Remove all pots and utensils from glass. Sponge up all liquids and dry touch area thoroughly with a clean microfiber cloth. Wipe glass surface completely dry, power down circuit breaker for 60 seconds, restore supply and touch Key Lock for 5 seconds.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Candy code ER03 persists, the physical component causing On Candy cooktops utilizing Moderna & Idea high-frequency induction power generator, electromagnetic pan detection, and capacitive touch interface: Heavy liquid overflow across touch buttons, conductive sauce splatter, or pan overhang onto glass touch zone. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Mechanical Pressure Switch Contacts / Inductive Frequency Sensor across Across switch spade contacts with harness unplugged; electronic output: 40Hz–50Hz frequency signal. Expected nominal reading is Mechanical: Continuity 0.0Ω–0.2Ω (Empty: 11-12, Full: 11-14). Electronic: 20Ω–45Ω coil resistance.. Tolerance: Mechanical switch contacts must transition cleanly on gentle breath pressure. Coil ~22Ω ±5%..

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
