Electrolux Cooktop Error Code 22

Error code 22 indicates that the cooktop has detected a fault in the Timer or On/Off key sensor on the right side Touch Control Board. The control system monitors the touch key inputs continuously and triggers this code when one of these keys produces an invalid or stuck signal. It can result from wiring issues or a failed touch board.

Powering the cooktop off at the circuit breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the code, but if the underlying sensor or wiring fault remains, error code 22 will return. A reset is useful for confirming whether the fault is intermittent, but it is not a permanent fix. The cables, connections, and Touch Control Board must be inspected and addressed to resolve the error.

If the issue is limited to a loose or corroded connection, the repair may cost little to nothing beyond your time. If the right side Touch Control Board requires replacement, part costs typically range from around 80 to 200 dollars depending on the specific model, with additional labor costs if a technician performs the repair. Getting a diagnostic estimate before committing to parts is advisable.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by inspecting all cables and connections to the right side Touch Control Board for looseness, corrosion, or damage. If connections are secure and the error persists, replacing the Touch Control Board is the indicated repair. This board replacement requires careful disassembly of the cooktop and comfort working with electrical connectors.

Error code 22 signals a fault in a key sensor, which means the Timer or On/Off touch key may not function reliably. Continuing to use the cooktop in this state is not recommended, as control behavior may be unpredictable. The cooktop should be diagnosed and repaired before returning it to regular use.
