What 120-124
actually means.
The 120 to 124 group is a cooking-zone overheat. AGA's first suspect is thermocouples plugged into the wrong sockets behind the user panel, so one zone reads another zone's heat.
AGA range display
What to do when 120-124 shows on the rangeKind of codeTemperature sensor
The oven sensor sent a reading the control would not accept, or one that climbed well past the setting. A loose plug or a sensor that has drifted is ruled out before the control board, and a temperature that keeps rising means the range is switched off at the breaker first.
Usually leads toTemperature sensor and thermostat repair
A range oven that bakes hot, bakes slow, takes forever to preheat or posts a sensor code, traced to the sensor probe, the thermostat or the calibration.
Shows up asRange Error Code
The range display shows letters, numbers or a flashing symbol, beeps, and stops the oven, a cooking zone or a clean.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from AGA's own guidance for 120-124 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Stop using the range and note the code.
Book a visit, especially if the code follows recent work on the panel or probes.
Still there?
It usually turns into temperature sensor and thermostat repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
An overheat code here does not have to mean the zone was truly too hot. Crossed connections can make a normal zone look like it is running away.

Electric range
Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
Induction range
A glass top that heats the pan itself through copper coils and power boards, over an electric oven, with electronics doing almost all the work.
