RM Gastro E1 Error Code
Generator error on an induction cooking range — a fault detected by the generator (power board), shown as “E1” plus a sub-number.

What does RM Gastro E1 mean?
On RM Gastro induction ranges, E1 marks an anomaly detected by the generator (the induction power board) and handed to the control. On digital models “E1” shows on the display followed by a sub-number; on analogue models the green light flashes a count that equals the error number while the red light stays on. Sub-codes cover overcurrent, no inductor current, IGBT or winding over-temperature, mains-phase loss and empty-cookware protection.
Symptoms
- Display reads “E1” followed by a number on digital-control models
- On analogue models the red light stays on and the green light flashes a repeating count
- Cooking zone stops heating or heats incorrectly
- Zone over-temperature or empty-pot protection trips during use
Common causes
- Unsuitable cookware causing excess current in the generator (E1 1)
- Interrupted inductor wiring so no current reaches the inductor (E1 2)
- IGBT or electronics over-temperature from clogged vents, a clogged fan or a faulty sensor (E1 3, E1 6)
- Empty cooking pot or a faulty temperature sensor / power plate (E1 4, E1 15)
- Faulty wiring, wrong DIP-switch ID or faulty control unit (E1 5, E1 11)
- Mains phase outage or supply voltage too high/low (E1 8, E1 13, E1 14)

Diagnostic steps
Use induction-suitable cookware
Fit pans with a ferritic (magnetic) base sized for the zone. Wrong or empty cookware triggers overcurrent and empty-pot protection.
Let the zone cool, then restart
For over-temperature or empty-cookware codes, remove the pot, switch the appliance off, wait a few minutes until the cooking zone cools, then switch it back on.
Clean the ventilation and fan
Clear the ventilation ducts, clean the cooling fan and confirm it spins correctly; clogged airflow drives IGBT and electronics over-temperature codes.
Check the mains supply
Verify the electrical connection and that mains voltage is not too high or too low, and that no phase is missing in the distribution.
Inspect inductor and control wiring
Check the inductor wiring and the control-unit connections; rewire the inductor if interrupted and confirm the DIP-switch address is set correctly.
Replace the faulty component
If the fault persists, the manual calls for replacing the temperature sensor, the generator or the control unit, or having the unit repaired by service.
When to call a professional
Replacing the generator, the inductor temperature sensor or the control unit, setting DIP-switch IDs, and any work on internal wiring or mains-phase distribution should be done by a qualified, authorised technician. The manual notes the warranty is void if the unit is opened or manipulated by unauthorised staff. If cleaning vents, fitting correct cookware and a cool-down restart do not clear E1, contact service.
