Symptom / Description

FAULT

Siemens iQ700 / iQ800 studioLine flexInduction & freeInduction Plus: Control panel overheating warning F5; touch sensors detect excessive heat radiated from hot cookware placed over controls.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

On Siemens hobs: Hot cooking pot, frying pan, or baking sheet positioned partially or completely over front capacitive touch keys.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Immediately remove hot cookware away from the touch control zone. The fault code clears automatically once touch surface cools down. Remove cookware, disconnect power at fuse panel for 60 seconds, reconnect and touch Childlock key for 5 seconds.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Cut electrical mains power. Never measure resistance on energized heating circuits.
  • !Ensure tub water or heating cavity is completely drained and cool to the touch before dismantling.
  • !Verify absolute zero voltage using an approved 2-pole voltage detector before touching element terminals.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Inspect heating element tube for calcification buildup, bulging, pinholes, or blistering.
  • Check wiring spade terminals for heat discoloration, burnt insulation, or loose crimps.
  • On thermal Klixon switches: check for manual red reset buttons and verify spring-loaded snap action.
