Frigidaire Cooktop Error Code E60

E60 on a Frigidaire cooktop indicates a touch control general hardware error related to the key input circuitry on the main power touch control board. The board has detected an internal fault that prevents it from reliably scanning or processing touch commands from the control panel. This error requires inspection of the touch control board and its connections, and in most cases the board itself must be replaced.

An E60 fault indicates the touch control hardware is not functioning correctly, which means the cooktop may not respond predictably to touch inputs. Using a cooktop with a compromised control board is not recommended, as you may not be able to reliably control heat levels or turn off burners. Stop using the cooktop and have it serviced before resuming normal use.

Repair costs will vary depending on the specific cooktop model and whether you hire a technician or complete the repair yourself. A replacement touch control board typically costs in the range of $80 to $250 for the part alone, depending on the model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs generally fall between $150 and $400. Getting a repair estimate before proceeding is advisable, particularly on older units where repair cost may approach replacement cost.

A basic first step you can take is to inspect and reseat the ribbon cable connecting the touch panel to the control board, as a loose connection can trigger this fault without a true board failure. However, if reseating the cable does not resolve the error, the main power touch control board must be replaced, which requires disassembling the cooktop and working with electrical components. Technicians comfortable with appliance repair can complete this replacement, but homeowners unfamiliar with appliance disassembly should hire a qualified repair technician.

Disconnecting the cooktop from power for several minutes and then restoring power may temporarily clear the E60 fault, but if the underlying hardware failure on the touch control board remains, the error will return. A reset is worth attempting as a first step, but it is not a permanent fix for a board with an actual hardware fault. If the error returns after a reset, the touch control board needs to be replaced.
