What E 51-E 55 means

On the Electrolux ICON 36-inch induction cooktop, such as the E36IC75FSS, the range E 51 through E 55 covers a temperature sensor under a cooking zone that reads as broken, which is an open circuit. Each number in the range belongs to one zone, so the number tells us which zone's sensor is not reporting. Without that reading, the control will not heat the zone, and you see the number on the display.

Common causes of E 51-E 55

Temperature sensor under the affected zone
Sensor wire or connector to the module
The module input that reads the sensor
Damage from a boil-over reaching the connection

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn every zone off and let the glass cool. 2. Try the reset described for this cooktop, turning its power supply off and then on. 3. Write down the exact number, because it identifies the zone. 4. If the number returns, avoid that zone and call us with the number.

! Why to stop there

A reset does not repair an open sensor circuit, so we test the sensor and its wiring for continuity.
The number lets us go straight to the right zone, but we still confirm it before ordering any part.
Other zones may keep working, and we tell you whether it is safe to use them while you wait for the repair.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

E 51-E 55E 51-E 55 questions

Which zone does the number belong to?

Each number in the range matches one zone. Tell us the exact number and we map it to the zone at the visit, without guessing from the display.

Can I use the other zones?

Often yes, since only the zone with the broken sensor reading is blocked. We suggest asking us first if more than one number has appeared.

What does open circuit mean?

It means the control sees no connection to the sensor at all, like a cut wire. The sensor can be fine while the wire or plug is the problem.
