AGA eR7 range
showing S

An S in the roast and bake oven windows means the eR7 is in slumber mode, where those two ovens idle at a reduced heat instead of a cooking setting.

Book a visit

Three short steps, about a minute.

or call (844) 875-7576

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from AGA's own guidance for S on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

To cook, press the oven's own symbol to move it from slumber to a cooking setting, or hold M for 3 seconds to leave slumber.

02

Wait for the oven symbol to stop blinking, which means it has reached the chosen heat.

Cleared?

The range was set right without a new part. If the same message comes back while a burner or the oven is in use, or the range cuts out again, treat it as a new problem and book it.

What not to do

S is not a sensor or heating code, so a visit is not needed just because it appears.

What you may
notice with it.

The range problems S tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

Something the range was told to do, or a state it chose on purpose — a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a demo mode that lights the display but never heats, a pan warning on an induction zone. Nothing has worn out, and no part is needed.

In AGA's own words

window for the roast and bake ovens will display the letter “S” to indicate slumber mode.

Questions
about S.

Can I clear S myself?
To cook, press the oven's own symbol to move it from slumber to a cooking setting, or hold M for 3 seconds to leave slumber.
Why is my AGA eR7 oven not hot enough to bake while S shows?
Slumber keeps the roasting and baking ovens at a low idle heat. Switch the oven you need to a cooking setting and let it finish blinking before the food goes in.
Can I leave my AGA eR7 in slumber all day?
Yes, it is a normal operating mode. It saves the ovens from a full cold start when you want to cook later.

Still showing S?

Book with the code exactly as it appears, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or scorching — with a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
