Bertazzoni Cooktop Code Fb: Keyboard Error in Group Selection

What Fb means

On the legacy Bertazzoni induction cooktop P365IME and on the radiant PE244CER and PE304CER, Fb is one of the keyboard errors in the F-letter group. On the PE..CER it points to the group selection keys. Every heater is shut off and locked out. The display shows Fb, the zones stop heating, and the cooktop will not accept a new setting until the error has been dealt with.

Common causes of Fb

Dirt, a cloth or a liquid overlapping the control keys
A passing error cleared by removing and restoring power
A group selection key circuit that needs service if Fb comes back

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Remove anything that is lying across the control keys. 2. Dry and clean the control area with a soft cloth. 3. Turn the breaker off for roughly a minute and then back on. 4. If Fb shows again after the restart, stop using the cooktop and call us.

! Why to stop there

With the heaters locked, a stubborn Fb leaves you with no cooking at all.
The keyboard sits under the glass beside live heater wiring, which is a job for trained hands.
We quote first in writing, and the repair is covered by a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

FbFb questions

What does the b in Fb stand for?

It is simply the second letter of the code. Fb is the keyboard error for group selection on the PE..CER radiant cooktops, and the same family appears on the P365IME induction model.

Will turning the power off and on help?

Often yes. The first guidance for any keyboard error is to make sure the keys are clear and clean, then remove the power and restore it. If the code returns, a technician should test the keyboard.

Can I still use any zone?

No. When Fb is active, all heaters are switched off and locked. Cooking can resume only after the error clears, or after we repair the keyboard.
