Fisher & Paykel Induction Range Code Er03: Touch Control Area Covered or Wet

What Er03 means

On Fisher & Paykel induction ranges such as the RIV3-486 and RIV3-485, Er03 flashes on the display with a continuous beep. It means liquid has spilled on the touch control area, or an object such as a utensil is lying on it. The cooktop section stops responding until the area is clear and power is reset. Wiping the glass dry often resolves the message right away.

Common causes of Er03

Spill or boil-over on the touch controls
Utensil, lid or cloth resting on the control area
Moisture or residue left on the glass after cleaning

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Switch power off at the wall or breaker to stop the beeping. 2. Remove any pans, utensils or cloths from the control area. 3. Wipe the glass dry with a soft cloth; do not spray cleaner into seams. 4. Wait a minute, restore power and try a zone. If Er03 stays, call us.

! Why to stop there

Liquid under the glass edge cannot be cleared by wiping and needs a technician.
Repeated beeping and resets can hide a sensor that has been damaged by moisture.
We dry out and test the controls, and quote any part in writing before we replace it.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Er03Er03 questions

Why is the range beeping nonstop?

Er03 comes with a continuous beep because the touch controls detect liquid or an object. Switching power off at the wall stops the beeping while you clean.

Is Er03 a cooktop-only code?

It is documented for the induction range RIV3 cooktop section. The oven side is separate, but we recommend keeping the whole range off until the control area is dry.

What if it comes back after cleaning?

Moisture may have reached the control board under the glass. We test it and give you a written price first; our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
