Error code32
ApplianceCooktop
What 32 is reporting
Low voltage is coming out of the 12-volt supply that sits on the filter control board. You will see the code on Kenmore induction cooktops in the 790 range, a line that displays plain numbers rather than letters.
Checks, in the manual’s order
Disconnect power.
Examine the harness connections at both ends, the filter control board and the main power control board.
If the connections are good, the listed remedy is to put in a new filter control board.
Fitting that board is technician work.
Related board codes
Code 33: improper voltage output from the filter control board, a different voltage fault on the same board
Code 31: a power level failure that also begins with a harness check
Code 34: a communication failure between the filter and main power boards
