Electrolux Range Error Code 1,4

Error code 1,4 on an Electrolux range means the oven temperature probe circuit is shorted. The control board has detected that the resistance in the probe circuit is outside the acceptable range of 1050 to 1100 ohms. This fault prevents normal oven operation until the underlying cause is corrected. The problem is typically a failed probe or damaged wiring, though the control board itself can also be responsible.

It is not recommended to use the oven while this fault is active. With a shorted probe circuit, the control board cannot accurately monitor oven temperature, which means the oven could overheat without the control system detecting it. The bake and broil functions should be considered unreliable until the fault is resolved. Surface burners on a gas or electric range are typically unaffected by this fault.

If the oven temperature probe has failed, replacement probes typically cost between $20 and $60 depending on the model, making it one of the more affordable oven repairs. If the electronic control board is at fault, board replacement parts generally range from $100 to $300 or more, with additional labor costs if a technician performs the repair. Getting a resistance reading on the probe first helps avoid unnecessarily replacing the more expensive component.

If you are comfortable using a multimeter, you can test the oven temperature probe yourself by disconnecting it and measuring its resistance. A reading between 1050 and 1100 ohms means the probe is good and the control board likely needs replacement. If the resistance is far outside that range, replacing the probe is a straightforward repair that many DIYers can complete. However, replacing the control board is a more involved repair and may warrant a service call.

Resetting the range by cutting power at the breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the display, but the code will return as soon as the oven is used again if the underlying problem has not been fixed. The fault is triggered by an ongoing circuit condition, not a one-time event. A proper repair of the probe or control board is required to permanently resolve the code.
