GE Range Error Code E015

E015 indicates that the ESEC self-test has failed because the ESEC-UIB is not receiving a synchronization signal from the ESEC-Relay Board. This is a communication fault between two internal control boards that manage the surface elements. The issue can stem from a wiring problem between the boards or a failure in one of the boards themselves.

E015 indicates a failure in the electronic control system that manages the surface elements, so it is not recommended to use the range while this error is active. The self-test failure means the control system cannot confirm normal operation, which could lead to unpredictable behavior from the surface element controls. Discontinue use until the fault is diagnosed and repaired.

Repair costs vary depending on what needs to be replaced. If only a wiring repair is needed, costs are typically lower, generally in the range of $75 to $150 for a service call and labor. If the ESEC-UIB or ESEC-Relay Board requires replacement, parts and labor combined can range from $200 to $500 or more depending on part availability and local labor rates.

A knowledgeable DIYer can check the wiring connection between J2 pin 5 on the ESEC-Relay Board and P4 pin 5 on the ESEC-UIB, since a loose or disconnected wire is the most common cause. However, if the wiring is intact, resolving the error requires replacing circuit boards, which involves working inside the range's control system and is generally better suited to a qualified appliance technician.

Resetting the range by cycling the power may temporarily clear the display, but the error will return if the underlying cause has not been addressed. Because E015 is triggered by a self-test that runs during startup, the fault will be detected again each time the range powers on. A proper repair of the wiring or the affected board is needed for a lasting resolution.
