Error code
Range signal —
Electrolux range — reported by blinking lights rather than by a code. A dash across the display is the one entry on the maker's range guide that is not a failure at all, and it is the call we would rather you did not have to make.

What we can confirm
Signal —, from the manufacturer's own documentation
This code has no number, because this equipment has no display to put one on. The appliance signals it instead — an alarm, a symbol or a pattern of lights — and what it means is recorded in the documentation that ships with it.
The signal
—
A dash across the display is the one entry on the maker's range guide that is not a failure at all, and it is the call we would rather you did not have to make. The lock is deliberate — it is what a cleaning cycle sets, and it is what a child lock sets — and the panel shows a dash because there is nothing else it is willing to say while locked. Six seconds on OFF releases it. We list it beside the real codes because a locked cooktop and a dead cooktop look identical from across a kitchen, and the difference is one held button.
or call (305) 912-9018
What it narrows down to
The cooktop is locked. To cancel the oven Lock feature, press OFF and hold for 6 seconds. The control will unlock the oven door and resume normal operations.

What else belongs to the ranges
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.

What the appliance is actually reporting
A dash across the display is the one entry on the maker's range guide that is not a failure at all, and it is the call we would rather you did not have to make. The lock is deliberate — it is what a cleaning cycle sets, and it is what a child lock sets — and the panel shows a dash because there is nothing else it is willing to say while locked. Six seconds on OFF releases it. We list it beside the real codes because a locked cooktop and a dead cooktop look identical from across a kitchen, and the difference is one held button.
The other ways this one is printed
— · - · dash
The same condition is printed differently on different panels of the same make, and every spelling the maker publishes for it is above. Whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.
Where this appears, and why not to clear it
On the appliance's own display, as a short single code — a letter and a number, or two letters. Nothing alternates and nothing arrives in halves on this make, so what the panel shows is the whole of it. Photograph it before you cut the power. This maker's own answer to most of these is thirty seconds at the breaker, and that is worth following once — but a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again.
Which machines this one applies to
Electric 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.
What to do about it
- Press and hold OFF for a full six seconds. Most people let go at three, which does nothing and confirms nothing.
- Check whether a self-clean cycle is running or cooling down. The door stays locked through the cool-down, and that is normal rather than a failure.
- Look for a lock icon on the panel. If it is lit, the control is doing what it was asked to.
- If the dash survives the hold with no cycle running, give it thirty seconds at the breaker. Should it come straight back, the control is refusing to let the lock go.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is diagnostic visit, 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) 912-9018 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
