Electrolux Range Error Code Bake + Clean (LEDs 1,5)

This error code indicates that the electronic control board has detected an incorrect EEPROM checksum, meaning the memory data stored on the control board is corrupted or no longer valid. The EEPROM holds configuration and calibration data that the control relies on to operate correctly. When the stored checksum does not match the expected value, the board flags this fault. The range should not be used until the control board is replaced.

A power reset is unlikely to permanently resolve this error because the underlying cause is corrupted data stored in the EEPROM on the control board. Even if the fault clears temporarily after a reset, the checksum mismatch will typically return because the memory corruption remains. Board replacement is the indicated corrective action.

The cost of an Electrolux range electronic control board typically falls in the range of $150 to $400 or more depending on the specific model. If you hire a professional technician, expect to add $100 to $200 or more in labor costs on top of the part price. DIY replacement can reduce the total expense significantly if you are comfortable with the repair.

The repair requires replacing the electronic control board, which is a task many experienced DIYers can complete if they are comfortable working with appliance electronics and disconnecting wire harnesses. The EEPROM chip itself cannot be reprogrammed or replaced separately in the field. Always disconnect power to the range at the breaker before beginning any work on the control board.

Operating the range with a corrupted EEPROM checksum is not recommended. A corrupted control board memory can lead to unpredictable behavior in cooking functions, temperature regulation, or safety controls. The range should be kept off until the electronic control board has been replaced and normal operation is confirmed.
