Error codeF40 / F41
ApplianceRange
F40 and F41 together
Both codes carry the same meaning, a cooktop lock-out. Electrolux documents them for electric ranges and electric cooktops.
Reset sequence
Remove power from the unit for as long as 30 seconds, using either the plug or the circuit breaker.
Restore power and see whether the code has disappeared.
If it is still there and the unit was installed within 30 days, call the installer.
If it is still there on an older installation, contact Electrolux to schedule service.
A dash is something else
A lone dash means the control is locked, which is a separate entry: dash on the display. For the door, see F90 to F94; for a probe fault, see F31.
San Francisco range repair after a power reset
If the lock-out comes back, Electrolux range repair in San Francisco and the Bay Area can be reached at (415) 449-0036. Mention that you cut power already, plus the code and the model number.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so F40 / F41 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F40 and F41 both denote a cooktop lock-out, which Electrolux says to reset by cutting power for up to 30 seconds.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
