Error codeHE
ApplianceCooktop
Quick answer
A steady HE with the zone cold and switched off points to a temperature sensor defect.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so HE 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
Steady HE in display with zone cold and off: temperature sensor defect.
A steady HE in the display while the cooking zone is cold and switched off means a temperature sensor defect. The code is listed for the older 30-inch induction cooktop with ceramic glass in service data sheet 318200282 Rev B.
What a technician tests
First the coil RTD is tested; it should be approximately 1K ohms at room temperature, and the coil is replaced if the resistance is not correct. The second action is to replace the generator circuit board.
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.
