Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for F4 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Let the stove cool completely.

02

Touch any control element once it has cooled.

03

Book a visit if F4 happens again; the cooling fan and airflow are checked.

Still there?

What not to do

Thermador: ranges error codes

Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. F4 is listed here: Thermador's ranges code page, where these codes sit under its induction section; they apply to Thermador induction stoves.

Questions
about F4.

Can I clear F4 myself?
Let the stove cool completely. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why did every zone on my Thermador stop with F4?
The electronics reached a heat at which Thermador stops the whole top.
Is F4 on my Thermador dangerous?
It is Thermador protecting its electronics. After cooling it should work, and a second F4 is a reason to book a visit.
My Thermador shows F4 even when the kitchen is cool. Why?
The cooling fan may not be working. That needs a visit.

Back to your everyday

Still showing F4?

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.
