In the middle of cooking, a zone shuts off and F2 appears. Thermador says the electronics beneath the glass got too hot, so the cooktop cut power to protect itself. On induction models the same overheated-electronics wording is shared by F4, E7015, E8207 and E8208, so the family of codes all describe heat rather than a single broken part.
1. Turn off the zones and let the cooktop rest until the glass and surroundings cool. 2. Make sure nothing is stored directly beneath it that could block air. 3. Touch a control element to resume once the code has cleared by itself. 4. If it comes back soon, stop and call.
Thermador gives no fixed number. The instruction is to let the cooktop cool and then touch a control. If the code lingers, it simply has not cooled enough yet. That means patience is the only dial: touch a control after the glass feels cool, and wait longer if the code is still showing.
The shutdown is the protection doing its job. The concern is only when it keeps happening, because repeated overheating suggests the cooling needs attention. Treat repeated shutdowns during light cooking as the warning sign that deserves an inspection, not the single one.
The meaning is the same, overheated electronics. On induction, Thermador just groups it with several related codes, and the first steps are alike. Mentioning the pattern to a technician helps.
