  An "E3" error on your VWR Cooktop typically means there's an issue with the motor, such as no motion or improper functioning. To attempt a fix, reset the unit by rotating the speed knob to the off position until it clicks, then turn it back on. If you were heating, also rotate the heat knob to the off position and then back on. If the error persists, contact your VWR representative for repair.
