Frigidaire Cooktop 51 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code 51
Appliance Cooktop

Code 51 at the left front zone

  • Display: 51
  • Zone: left front
  • Same group of entries: 52, 54 and 55, one for each other zone
  • Cooktop: earlier 30-inch induction model with ceramic glass, sheet 318200282 Rev B

The sheet’s technician steps

  1. See whether the element’s temperature sensor sits in the correct connector of the good induction housing assembly, as the wiring diagram shows.
  2. Read the sensor resistor at room temperature. The expected value is about 1000 ohms on the blue wires; if not, the inductor is replaced.
  3. The associated generator circuit board is replaced last.

Zone neighbors

  • Code 52, left rear.
  • Code 54, right rear.
  • Code 61, where the left front sensor reads too hot instead of broken.
