What it
usually means.

A range error code is the control telling you which test it could not pass. On a range those tests cover more ground than on an oven alone: the oven sensor and heating, the door lock, gas ignition in the oven, the touch keys, the link between boards, and on induction models the power board, the coils, pan sensing and the cooling fan. Some codes are not failures but settings, such as a control lock, a Sabbath setting or a showroom mode. The same code can mean different things on different brands, and on different models of one brand, so a code means something only alongside the model number.

Answer these first

01

What exactly does the display show, including any letter that could be read as a number?
02

Does the code come back after the breaker has been off for a few minutes?
03

Does it concern the oven, the range top, or both?
04

When does it show: at start, in preheat, during self-clean, or with a zone on?
05

Can you find the model label? On many ranges it sits on the frame behind the drawer or just inside the oven door.

Check these
before you book.

Range error code: 5 checks, and none of them costs anything.

01

Write the code down exactly as shown, or photograph the display.

02

If the code points to heat, or the range smells of burning or gas, stop using it; for gas, leave and call the gas utility from outside.

03

Find the model and serial label, often behind the drawer or on the frame inside the oven door.

Also worth checking

  • Turn the range off at the breaker for a few minutes, restore power, and watch whether the code reappears.
  • Look the code up in the manual for your model, since some codes are settings rather than failures.

How soon does it need a visit?

Many range codes can wait for a visit. An overheat code, a code that comes with smoke or a burning smell, or a zone or oven that keeps heating is urgent: cut the breaker. With any gas smell, leave and call the gas utility from outside.

The causes,

6 things range error code turns out to be, from setting that looks like a code to touch key or communication code.

The cost guide
  1. 01 no repair

    Setting that looks like a code

    Control lock, Sabbath and demo settings show up as symbols or letters on some displays. The manual shows how to leave each one.

    No repair: check it yourself
  2. 02 low

    Oven sensor code

    The oven sensor reads open, shorted or out of range, and the range stops heating the oven until it can trust the reading again.

    Fixed by temperature sensor and thermostat repair See range oven temperature wrong
  3. 03 low to moderate

    Door lock code

    The control could not confirm that the lock moved, usually around a self-clean.

    Fixed by door hinge, gasket and lock repair See range self-clean problems
  4. 04 moderate

    Overheat code

    The range saw heat beyond its limit in the oven or near the control. Cut the breaker and leave it off until it has been checked.

    Fixed by knobs, switches and controls See range burner won't turn off
  5. 05 moderate to highest

    Induction zone or board code

    An induction range reports coil, power board, cooling fan and pan-sensing problems with codes of their own.

    Fixed by induction board and coil repair On an induction rangeSee induction range not detecting pan
  6. 06 moderate

    Touch key or communication code

    A key stuck down, or two boards that stopped talking to each other, can each raise a code.

    Fixed by knobs, switches and controls See range control panel not responding

Questions about
range error code.

The code cleared after a reset. Does it still need a technician?
Maybe not. A reset clears codes left by a power blip. If the same code returns at the same point, the part it names is still failing and needs testing.
Why do code lists online not match what my range is doing?
Code lists are often for a different appliance or a different model family, even from the same brand. Match the code to the manual for your model number.
Do induction ranges show more codes?
Usually, because the range top has electronics of its own. Pan sensing, the power board and the cooling fan all report through codes.
Can one code stop both the oven and the range top?
Yes, on ranges where one control runs both. A code that stops everything often points to that control, its power supply, or the link between boards.
