Electrolux Range Error Code 52

Error code 52 indicates a break or open circuit detected in the inductor temperature sensor for the left rear cooking zone. The control board monitors this sensor's resistance across two blue wires and expects a reading of approximately 1000 ohms at room temperature. When the circuit reads as open or far outside that range, the board shuts off the left rear zone and displays the fault. The problem is typically a loose connector, damaged wiring, or a failed inductor assembly.

The left rear induction zone will be locked out by the control board and will not energize while error 52 is active, so there is no active heating hazard from that specific zone. The rest of the range's cooking zones and oven functions are generally unaffected. However, you should not attempt to bypass the fault, and the issue should be repaired promptly to restore full functionality.

If the fix is simply reseating a loose connector, there is no parts cost involved. If the inductor assembly needs to be replaced, parts alone typically range from around 80 dollars to over 200 dollars depending on the model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs can range from approximately 150 dollars to 400 dollars or more. Getting a diagnosis from a qualified technician before ordering parts is advisable, since the control board could also be involved in rare situations.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by checking whether the temperature sensor connector at the Induction Housing Assembly is securely seated, which requires accessing the underside of the cooktop. If the connector is secure, use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the blue sensor wires: the reading should be approximately 1000 ohms at room temperature. If the reading is open or significantly off, the inductor assembly needs to be replaced, which involves disconnecting power and removing the cooktop glass and internal components.

Cutting power to the range at the breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the error display, but the fault will return immediately once the control board checks the sensor circuit again. Because error 52 points to a hardware problem, either a disconnected connector, broken wire, or failed sensor, a reset alone will not resolve it. The underlying cause must be diagnosed and repaired for the code to stay cleared.
