Hisense Range Error Code Err 014

Err 014 on a Hisense range signals a conflict between the cooktop operation and the Self Clean cycle. The control board monitors both functions simultaneously and will trigger this error under two specific conditions: if the cooktop burners are activated while a Self Clean cycle is already running for more than one minute, or if a Self Clean cycle is initiated while one or more cooktop elements are already active. These two operations are intentionally interlocked because the extreme temperatures generated during Self Clean (which can exceed 800 degrees Fahrenheit inside the oven cavity) create a safety risk when combined with simultaneous cooktop activity.

The control system that enforces this interlock relies on communication between the cooktop switches and the main control board. When the board detects that both systems are signaling active states concurrently beyond the allowed threshold, it halts operation and displays Err 014. This is a protective feature, not simply a fault, though wiring or board damage can also produce the same error by falsely reporting a cooktop as active even when no burners have been turned on.

The third trigger for this code is damaged wiring or a faulty control board (PB). A short, broken wire, or corroded connector in the cooktop switch circuit can cause the board to misread the status of one or more burners. In these cases the error appears without any actual cooktop or Self Clean conflict. The recommended first diagnostic step is to individually activate cooktop switches 1 through 5 to confirm each switch responds correctly and rules out a switch or wiring fault before suspecting the control board itself.
