The handset may still work normally while the receiver link inside the cooker has dropped. AGA range display What to do when 159 shows on the range ### Kind of code Controls and communication The display, the main board or the induction power board lost contact with one another, or one of them failed its own self-check. A power dip, a loose cable or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a range that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Knobs, switches and controls Knobs that spin or crack, touch keys that do nothing, blank displays, clocks that reset and control boards that switch the wrong thing. ### Shows up as Range Error Code The range display shows letters, numbers or a flashing symbol, beeps, and stops the oven, a cooking zone or a clean. ### Make AGA A British cooking name, owned by Middleby, that sells cast-iron heat-storage cookers and more conventional dual-fuel and induction ranges in the US. ### Source AGA eR7 Field Service Manual, USA and Canada eR7 ranges with the wireless handset. ## Before you book, in this order.

Check the handset batteries; AGA says to change them at one bar and not to use rechargeables. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Will new batteries clear 159 on my AGA eR7 handset? Only if weak batteries were part of the problem. The code itself concerns the receiver inside the range, which a technician checks if it stays. ### Can I use rechargeable batteries in the AGA eR7 handset? AGA does not recommend them. Standard batteries changed when the symbol drops to one bar are what the guide asks for. --- **[Read on the site: AGA eR7 range with error 159 on the handset](https://rangerepair.center/error-codes/aga-159/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
