Electrolux Cooktop Error Code 19

Error code 19 indicates that the cooktop has detected a fault in the RF zone control sensor or the On/Off key sensor located on the right side touch control board. The control system monitors these sensors continuously and shuts down or restricts operation when it receives an abnormal or absent signal. The fault points specifically to the right side of the control panel, either the sensor itself or the wiring connecting it to the main board.

It is not recommended to continue using the cooktop while error code 19 is active. The fault indicates that a key control sensor is not functioning correctly, which means the cooktop may not respond predictably to touch inputs, including attempts to turn it off. Discontinue use until the fault is diagnosed and resolved.

Repair costs vary depending on whether the issue is limited to a wiring connection or requires a new right side Touch Control Board. If only a connection repair is needed, labor costs may range from around $75 to $150. If the Touch Control Board requires replacement, parts and labor combined can range from $150 to $350 or more depending on the specific model and local service rates.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by inspecting the cable connections and wiring harness between the touch control board and the main controller, as a loose or reseatable connection may resolve the fault without any parts. If connections are secure and undamaged, the right side Touch Control Board will need to be replaced, which requires disassembling the cooktop and working near electrical components. If you are not comfortable with appliance disassembly or electrical work, a qualified technician should perform the repair.

A power reset by switching off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds may temporarily clear the display, but error code 19 will return if the underlying hardware fault is still present. The code is generated by a detected component or wiring failure, not a software glitch, so a permanent fix requires physical inspection and likely parts replacement.
