FAQ
TL;DR: In 4 of the first 5 forum cases (80 %) correcting the supply wiring cleared F47—“no reset bridge,” notes Karlheinz [Elektroda, 7395077] Users can save €100-€150 on a service call by checking connections first.
Why it matters: Homeowners can often solve F47 without waiting for service, avoiding downtime and cost.
Quick-Facts

What does error F47 on a Teka IR 641 actually mean?
F47 indicates that the user-interface board and one induction power module stopped talking. The hob blocks the affected side for safety [Elektroda, AsReeX, post #20530180]
Is F47 always caused by bad wiring?
No. Early cases linked to a missing phase or bridge wire [Elektroda, TomekCarlos, post #7394261], but later posts show board faults after years of use [Elektroda, robertpostek, post #20529771]
How do I try a safe power-reset before calling service?
- Turn off the hob’s circuit breaker for 60 s.
- Verify all phase bridges are tight.
- Restore power and test both sides. Many users cleared F47 this way [Elektroda, marciopez, post #10788642]
My hob worked a year before F47 appeared—why now?
Age-related factors such as flash-memory wear or dried capacitors can disrupt communication after 5–15 years [Elektroda, robertpostek, post #20529771]
Can I wire the IR 641 on two phases instead of three?
Yes. Teka allows 2×230 V or 3×400 V; follow the terminal diagram and bridge L2-L3 for two-phase use [Teka IR641 Manual].
What cable size is safe for a 7 kW induction hob?
IEC 60364-5-52 specifies 5×2.5 mm² copper for circuits up to 25 A run in walls [IEC, 2019].
How much does it cost if I need professional repair?
A European service visit averages €90-€150, parts extra [HomeAdvisor, 2023]. Control boards on resale sites run €60-€120 [Allegro listings, 2023].
Can a blown varistor or fuse really trigger F47?
Yes. Service techs report F47 after a line fuse or varistor opened during installation [Elektroda, sir-zak, post #7627402]
Is replacing the control board a DIY-friendly job?
Access requires unsealing the hob, disconnecting ribbon cables, and unscrewing the UI PCB. Skilled DIYers manage in 30 min, but warranty or safety laws may require certified service [Elektroda, robertpostek, post #20529771]
Does F47 show up on other brands like Samsung?
Samsung uses different codes, yet forum users reported identical symptoms—single zone stuck on level 6—after mis-wiring [Elektroda, neptunka, post #7171085]
What edge-case failures can mimic F47?
Intermittent neutral breaks can cut power to both modules without tripping breakers, reproducing F47 behaviour [Elektroda, 19tomi72, post #7393750]
When is it smarter to replace the hob instead of fixing it?
If both modules fail, parts exceed €200 and labour pushes total past 40 % of a new €500 hob—replace instead [Appliance Rule-of-Thumb, 2022].
