Electrolux Range Error Code F013

F013 on an Electrolux range means the user interface control board attempted to write data to its non-volatile memory but the verification step confirmed the data was not stored correctly. This points to a memory integrity problem within the control board. It can be caused by a power interruption, a voltage surge, or a failing NVM chip on the board itself.

A memory verification fault can affect the reliability of the control board's stored settings and operational parameters, which may impact how the range functions or responds to commands. It is generally advisable to avoid using the range until the fault is resolved. If the range appears unresponsive or behaves unexpectedly alongside the F013 code, discontinue use and address the fault promptly.

If a power cycle resolves the issue, there is no parts cost involved. If the user interface control board requires replacement, parts costs typically range from around $150 to $350 or more depending on the specific model, with additional labor charges if a technician performs the repair. Sourcing a compatible board for your exact model number before purchasing is important to ensure fitment.

A reset may clear F013 if the fault was triggered by a temporary power interruption or voltage fluctuation during a memory write cycle. To reset, turn the range off, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait 30 seconds, then restore power. If the F013 code returns after the reset, the control board has a hardware-level memory failure and will need to be replaced.

Start by performing a full power cycle: turn the range off, unplug it from the wall outlet, wait 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. If the F013 code clears and does not return, no further action is needed. If the code persists after the reset, the user interface control board needs to be replaced, as the non-volatile memory on the board has failed verification and cannot be repaired in the field.
