Error codeE_22
ApplianceCooktop
Two lines would cover the guidance for E_22 on a Whirlpool induction cooktop: restart the power, then watch the display. What sets the code off is not explained.
The whole procedure
Switch off the breaker supplying the cooktop; let a minute go by.
Switch it back on.
Let the surface cool down before it is used again.
Keep watching for a minute so the error does not slip back unnoticed.
Confirm the cooktop heats normally again.
Entries worth a glance
E_21 is a hot-electronics code, whereas E_35 and E_4 give a restart and nothing else.
Booking cooktop service in San Francisco
If E_22 survives the reset, have a technician look at the cooktop: call (415) 687-4102 from San Francisco or elsewhere in the Bay Area. Note the model number and what you did, so the visit starts from there. The Whirlpool cooktop repair page covers more.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so E_22 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
