What F22 reports
An internal communication error on the touch control module. That is the whole explanation in the manufacturer help for electric and radiant cooktops.
What to try
Flip the cooktop breaker off and wait one minute. Flip it on and keep watching for another minute. No F22 and a normally working cooktop means you are finished.
