The Asko HI5643FMG1 is a current induction cooktop. On this matte black induction cooktop the recurring service call is restricted ventilation under the cooktop causing the generator to overheat, well before any coil actually fails. When it does problem, the HI5643FMG1 reports it through an F-prefixed code straight out of the HI1655M generator's own problem table, not the E/Er scheme used on other platforms. The HI5643FMG1 comes from Asko's Australian and Swedish kitchen range -- not the current US catalog, which lists no ovens or hobs at all -- and any unit we see stateside has arrived through an earlier import or a spec'd European kitchen build.
A problem on the HI5643FMG1 is only as good as the model number behind it. Asko induction generators publish two entirely separate code families — the F-series set running F00, F0 through F6, F7, F8, F9, F99, FA and FAN, and the E-series set of Er03, E2, E3, E5, E6, U400 and Er47 — and nothing crosses between them. Read a code against the wrong family and the wrong board or coil gets blamed. Gas hobs stay silent and are judged by how they light and hold flame, while induction repairs open with a ventilation check because an overheating generator will problem before a component has genuinely failed. Our cooktop error-code guides and cooktop repair page go further.
