AGA range cooker fault codes
AGA’s owner guides confirm that their cookers generate error codes, show one example of what a code looks like, and give no meanings; the answer to every code is to read the number out to AGA Service. The meanings exist in AGA’s own field service manual for the eR7, written for their engineers, and the codes here that carry one say so and cite it. Everything else on this brand is knowing what is a fault and what is documented behaviour.
Where the code shows on a AGA
There are three places a modern AGA can show you something and they carry different things. On the eR7 and eR7i the owner guides say error codes may be displayed on the battery-powered hand-held handset, alongside a warning triangle, and the example they give is a decimal-point number, n 3.11, rather than an E or F code. The cooker itself has a control panel behind the top left hand door with a capacitive touch screen, LED indicators and a character display; AGA’s service manual says most faults show there as the zone lights flashing rapidly, and that the panel display can carry three codes of its own, FE, VE and CE, which are about the panel and its link to the main board rather than about a cooking zone. The induction hob on the eR7i has its own zone displays, which carry power levels, an H for residual heat, and the only two codes AGA name in an owner guide, E2 and E6. The older cast-iron gas and oil cookers have no display at all, and nothing is published to decode their behaviour because there is no electronics in them to decode.
How to reset a AGA
AGA publish no reset sequence for an error code. Their instruction for every code is to give the number to AGA Service, and their servicing wording is that the appliance must only be maintained and installed by a qualified engineer, an AGA engineer or an authorised distributor, with a flat instruction not to alter or modify it. Two recovery procedures are published, and both are for non-fault states rather than for codes: the M button returns the cooker to manual mode — a press to cancel AUTO or AUTO/Slumber, and a press held for three seconds to cancel a Slumber setting made by hand — and drying the touch pad area with paper towel restores an induction control that has stopped responding. AGA also warn that operating the cooker with its doors open can cause a lock-out, and publish nothing at all about what that lock-out shows or how it is cleared.
Most common AGA faults
The AGA codes people look up most.
- Hob will not go above a certain power levelUsually simple to fixNot a fault and no code: AGA’s overheat protection quietly reduces the power levels available, so the number simply refuses to go higher than the display shows.
- n 3.11Get it checkedAGA’s owner guides confirm error codes exist and publish one example of the format, n 3.11, with no meanings. The owner remedy for every code is to tell AGA Service.
- 011Get it checkedAGA’s eR7 service manual lists 010 to 014 as a full power time-out: a cooking zone took too long to reach temperature. AGA’s first action is customer education, then the thermocouple.
- E2 and E6Get it checkedThe only two AGA codes with a published cause. Both point at poor-quality or non-induction cookware, and AGA warn that carrying on may seriously damage the hob.
