Jenn-Air Cooktop Error Code Er 22

Er 22 indicates that the cooktop control unit has detected a defective keypad condition, either a short-circuit or a break in continuity within the keypad evaluation circuit. As a protective response, the control unit cuts power to itself within 3.5 to 7.5 seconds of detecting the fault. The cooktop will not operate normally while this code is active. Replacing the UI board is the recommended repair.

No. The Er 22 fault causes the control unit to cut itself off within seconds, which means burners will not operate reliably or predictably. Attempting to use the cooktop in this condition is not safe. Disconnect power to the unit and avoid using it until the UI board has been replaced and the repair is complete.

Repair costs will vary depending on the specific cooktop model and whether you hire a technician or perform the repair yourself. The UI board part itself typically ranges from around $80 to $250 or more depending on availability and supplier. If you use a professional appliance repair technician, labor charges will add to that cost, often bringing the total into the $150 to $400 range. Getting a quote from a local technician before committing to the repair is advisable.

A power reset may temporarily clear the display, but the code will return within seconds if the underlying keypad fault is still present. Because the control unit shuts off within 3.5 to 7.5 seconds of detecting the fault, any reset is only a momentary workaround. The fault must be corrected by replacing the defective UI board for the error to be permanently resolved.

The repair requires replacing the cooktop UI board. Start by disconnecting power at the breaker or unplugging the unit. Remove the necessary panels to access the UI board, disconnect the existing board, and install the replacement. Fully reassemble all panels and components before restoring power. Operating the cooktop with panels removed or partially reassembled creates a safety risk.
