On a panel of this age the usual cause is the membrane itself: the layers separate, moisture gets between them, and one key reads as permanently pressed. It is worth trying the simple thing first, because a panel wiped with something wet an hour earlier will sometimes clear on its own once it dries. Where it does not, this is a membrane or a wiring problem rather than a board, and that is the cheaper of the two answers. ### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all. ### Which machines this one applies to Classic ERC wall ovens and ranges. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door. ### What to do about it - Cut power at the breaker for a full minute and restore it — a genuinely stuck key will come straight back. - Look at the panel for a key that sits lower than its neighbors, or an area that has lifted. - If the panel was cleaned recently, give it a day to dry before anything is ordered. - Where it survives both, the membrane and its harness are checked before the ERC is blamed. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [appliance control board repair](/services/appliance-control-board-repair/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-6067](tel:+13053636067) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
