What dE
actually means.
dE on a Thermador induction stove means demo mode. The zones look ready but produce no heat.

What to do when dE shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Switch off the circuit breaker or fuse for 30 seconds.
Shows up asStovetop Not Heating
The burners on an electric, glass or induction stovetop stay cold or warm up only a little, sometimes all of them and sometimes two on one side, while the oven below may still work.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for dE on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch off the circuit breaker or fuse for 30 seconds.
Restore power, then tap a control before 3 minutes have passed.
Test a zone with a pan, and book a visit if dE returns.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
dE is not a failed zone or generator. The stove is simply in its showroom setting.

Still showing dE?
Book with the code written exactly as the stove shows it, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or hot wiring — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
