# Wolf induction cooktop error code E22

### What this one means

The control panel is reporting a key or a sensing pad that is not behaving, on an induction cooktop, where the generator under each zone is a power supply in its own right and reports for itself. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.

### What the code covers

A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:

- A key held down by something resting on the panel
- A capacitive pad reading a wet cloth as a finger
- The touch board itself, once the panel is dry and clear
- Pad error
- Stuck key error
- Config data in EEPROM corrupted; defaults used after micro reset

### What to try yourself

- Note whether one zone is affected or all of them — each has its own generator
- Wipe the panel dry and take everything off it, including a towel over the handle
- Switch the breaker off for thirty seconds so the panel recalibrates on power-up

### Then what

Capacitive panels calibrate to what they can see when they wake, which is why a cloth left on one at power-up produces an error that a reset clears. If it survives a clean, dry restart, it is the board.

This code is published for cooktops & rangetops. The [full list of codes](https://wolfmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
