## Direct answer

AEG Cooktop E3: induction-hob power or installation fault. This interpretation applies to AEG induction hobs and cookers with induction hobs covered by the linked UK support article in United Kingdom / English.

## What users may observe

- E3 is shown on the AEG cooktop display, indicator, or connected app

- The important observation is when E3 appears and whether the exact published action changes that condition

## Causes or fault boundaries

- Published check — Give service the E3 photo, full model and serial number, when it appeared, and the result of every published external check
- Stop at the published service boundary after these actions; do not add a restart or test cycle that AEG does not specify for E3

## Evidence-backed actions

Use only for the stated model and region. The linked manufacturer source remains authoritative, and an error code alone does not prove that a component has failed.
