What we can confirm
Code E2, from the manufacturer's own documentation
A code is only meaningful together with the machine showing it — the same digits mean different things on different equipment.
The code
E2
Two generator families exist and they share no numbers. F-strings belong to one, E and Er strings to the other, and a meaning taken across is a wrong board. Nothing to do with the F-family, which has no E-numbers at all. Same self-protection as F7 on the other generation, under a different label.

What it narrows down to
The appliance has overheated — let it cool and restart on a lower setting.

What else belongs to the cooktops
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.
Other codes this appliance can display
The ambient temperature is not good — switch off heat sources near the cooking plate.
The appliance has overheated — let it cool and restart on a lower setting.
Connected incorrectly, or the mains voltage is too high — have the connection changed.
Two or more buttons pressed at once, with a continuous beep.
Mains voltage too low — contact your energy supplier.
Air circulation is not good — make sure the venting holes under the plate are open.
The control panel is dirty or has water on it — clean the panel. Continuous beep.
Unsuitable cookware, lacking ferromagnetic properties — use a suitable pan.

About Cooktop error code E2
What E2 means on this make
Two generator families exist and they share no numbers. F-strings belong to one, E and Er strings to the other, and a meaning taken across is a wrong board. Nothing to do with the F-family, which has no E-numbers at all. Same self-protection as F7 on the other generation, under a different label.
Where this appears, and which table it belongs to
On the appliance's own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.
Which machines this one applies to
HI1621G. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 8 of the appliance types this site publishes — cooktop, dishwasher, dryer, microwave, oven, range, refrigerator and washer — and publishes none at all for commercial line, freezer, microwave, oven, range, range hood and refrigerator. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.
What to do about it
- Let it cool completely, restart lower.
- Recurring on normal use points at the air path under the hob.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is diagnostic visit, and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call (305) 363-1406 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
