Ignis C81

Ignis error code C81 indicates: Ignis Platino Induction & Ceramic Cooktop: Touch control panel thermal warning C81; temperature sensor beneath front glass panel senses heat exceeding 75°C..

The primary root cause for Ignis code C81 is: On Ignis cooktops: Hot pan shifted or placed onto front touch sensor glass area, or heat radiating from large griddle pan overlapping controls..

To resolve error code C81: Immediately move hot cookware away from front glass control area. Leave hob off for 5–10 minutes until sensor cools below 60°C. Power down at breaker switch for 60 seconds, wipe surface dry with microfiber cloth, then restart.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Ignis code C81 persists, the physical component causing On Ignis cooktops: Hot pan shifted or placed onto front touch sensor glass area, or heat radiating from large griddle pan overlapping controls. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test NTC Temperature Sensor Probe (Thermistor) across Across sensor pins 1-2 (unplugged harness). Expected nominal reading is 4.8kΩ–12kΩ (at 20°C–25°C). Tolerance: Negative temperature coefficient: resistance drops smoothly when warmed with fingers. OL = open circuit..

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.
