Electrolux Cooktop Error Code E054

E054 indicates a break, meaning an open circuit, in the temperature sensor for the right rear induction element. The control board monitors this sensor continuously to track inductor temperature, and when it receives no valid signal, it disables the right rear zone and displays E054. The fault can be caused by a loose connector, a damaged wire, or a failed sensor within the induction housing assembly.

The right rear cooking zone will be disabled while E054 is active, so that specific burner cannot be used. Other zones may still function depending on how the cooktop is designed, but it is advisable to have the fault diagnosed and repaired promptly. Operating an induction cooktop with a non-functioning temperature sensor on one zone carries a risk of that zone operating without proper thermal protection if the fault is intermittent.

If the repair is simply reseating a loose connector, there may be no parts cost beyond a service call fee, which typically ranges from $75 to $150 depending on your area. If the induction housing assembly needs replacement, parts and labor combined can range from $200 to $500 or more depending on the specific model and local labor rates. Diagnosing the root cause before ordering parts is strongly recommended to avoid unnecessary expense.

A knowledgeable DIYer or technician can start by checking whether the temperature sensor connector at the induction housing assembly is properly seated, which requires accessing the underside of the cooktop. If the connector is secure and the wiring shows no damage, the induction housing assembly containing the sensor will likely need to be replaced, which is a more involved repair. Always disconnect power to the cooktop before opening the unit.

Resetting the cooktop by cutting power at the breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the error code, but if the underlying problem persists, the fault will return once the cooktop attempts to use the right rear zone. A reset is useful for confirming whether the fault is intermittent or consistent, but it does not repair a disconnected connector, damaged wire, or failed sensor.
