Electrolux Range Error Code 55

Error code 55 means the control board has detected a break in the temperature sensor circuit for the right front induction burner. The sensor, a thermistor that should measure approximately 1000 ohms at room temperature, is either disconnected or has failed. The range disables the affected burner zone until the fault is resolved. This is a safety feature to prevent uncontrolled heating due to missing temperature feedback.

The right front burner zone will be disabled when error code 55 is active, so you cannot use that specific cooking area. The remaining burner zones may continue to function normally. It is safe to use the other zones, but the range should be repaired before relying on the right front burner again, as the temperature sensor is a key safety component for that zone.

If only the connector needs to be reseated, there is no parts cost and minimal labor. If the inductor assembly requires replacement, parts alone typically range from around 150 to 400 dollars depending on the specific model, with additional labor charges if a technician is hired. Wiring repairs generally fall somewhere in between depending on the extent of the damage.

A homeowner comfortable with basic appliance work can check whether the sensor connector is simply loose or unseated at the induction housing assembly. If reseating the connector clears the code, no parts are needed. If the connector is secure but the fault remains, testing and replacing the inductor assembly requires disassembling the cooktop and working with internal components, which is generally best handled by a qualified technician.

Power cycling the range may temporarily clear the display, but code 55 will return as soon as the control board checks the right front sensor circuit again and detects the open circuit. A reset does not fix the underlying issue. The sensor connector, wiring, or inductor assembly must be inspected and repaired for the fault to be permanently resolved.
