Electrolux Range Error Code Bake + Convection Bake + Convection Roast + Broil (LEDs 1,2,3,4)

Runaway temperature condition detected in the oven.

Electrolux codesElectrolux range codes

Runaway temperature condition detected in the oven.

First step from the service manual

Check the resistance of the oven temperature probe; should be between 1050 & 1100 ohms. If good, replace electronic control board.

What Bake + Convection Bake + Convection Roast + Broil (LEDs 1,2,3,4) means on a Electrolux range

When an Electrolux range simultaneously illuminates the Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Roast, and Broil LEDs (positions 1 through 4), the control system is signaling a runaway temperature condition in the oven cavity. This means the electronic control board has detected that oven temperature has either exceeded safe operating limits or is rising uncontrollably without reaching a stable set point. The control locks out normal operation to prevent a potential safety hazard.

The primary component involved in this fault is the oven temperature probe, a resistance-based sensor that communicates cavity temperature to the electronic control board. At room temperature, a properly functioning probe should measure between 1050 and 1100 ohms. If the probe reads outside this range, is open, or has a short to ground, the board receives inaccurate temperature data and may misinterpret the oven condition as a runaway event. Wiring harness damage between the probe and board can produce the same effect.

If the temperature probe tests within the correct resistance range of 1050 to 1100 ohms, the fault points to the electronic control board itself. A faulty board may incorrectly process accurate probe signals, fail to cycle the bake or broil elements properly, or apply continuous power to a heating element without regulation. In that scenario, replacing the control board is the correct repair path.

Common causes of Bake + Convection Bake + Convection Roast + Broil (LEDs 1,2,3,4)

  1. 01

    Failed oven temperature probe

    Part replacement

    The temperature probe is the most common cause. A probe with resistance outside the 1050 to 1100 ohm range at room temperature will send incorrect data to the control board, triggering a runaway fault. Test resistance at the probe connector to confirm.

  2. 02

    Damaged wiring harness to the probe

    Part replacement

    Broken, burned, or shorted wires between the oven temperature probe and the control board can cause erratic or out-of-range resistance readings without the probe itself being defective. Visually inspect the harness for heat damage or pinched wires.

  3. 03

    Faulty electronic control board

    Part replacement

    If the temperature probe tests within the correct 1050 to 1100 ohm range, the control board is the likely culprit. A defective board may fail to properly regulate power to the heating elements or misread accurate probe signals, causing a runaway condition to be falsely detected or actually occur.

  4. 04

    Probe connector corrosion or loose connection

    Wiring / connection

    Oxidized or loose connections at the probe plug can introduce resistance into the circuit, causing the board to read an artificially high or erratic temperature signal. Cleaning or reseating the connector may resolve the issue if the probe itself tests good.

Frequently asked questions about Bake + Convection Bake + Convection Roast + Broil (LEDs 1,2,3,4)

What does Bake + Convection Bake + Convection Roast + Broil (LEDs 1,2,3,4) mean on a Electrolux range?
This combination of illuminated LEDs indicates the control system has detected a runaway temperature condition in the oven cavity. The oven shuts down normal operation as a safety response when it determines that temperature is not being properly controlled. The fault involves the temperature sensing circuit, specifically the oven temperature probe and the electronic control board.
Will resetting the Electrolux range clear this error?
Cycling power to the range may temporarily clear the displayed fault, but the underlying cause must be addressed or the error will return. If the temperature probe is faulty or the control board is defective, a reset will not fix the problem. The oven should be fully diagnosed before returning to use.
Is it safe to use the oven while this error is active?
No, the oven should not be used while a runaway temperature fault is present. A runaway condition means the oven may be unable to regulate heat properly, which is a potential safety hazard. Discontinue use until the temperature probe and control board have been inspected and the faulty component replaced.
How do I fix the runaway temperature error on my Electrolux range?
Start by testing the resistance of the oven temperature probe at its connector. A good probe will read between 1050 and 1100 ohms at room temperature. If the probe is out of range, replace it. If the probe tests correctly, the next step is to replace the electronic control board.
How much does it cost to repair a runaway temperature fault on an Electrolux range?
Repair cost depends on which component is faulty. A replacement oven temperature probe typically ranges from around $20 to $60 for the part, while an electronic control board can range from $100 to $300 or more depending on the model. Adding professional labor will increase the total cost, generally ranging from $150 to $400 or more for the complete repair.
