Error Code E0 21 On My Fridgidaire Cook Top Fpec3685ks.
After using my Fridgidaire cook top all day I suddenly got an error message E0 on two of the lights and 21 on two others. I tried turning off the breaker and turning it back on. This did not fix it. Can anyone help? The unit is less that a year old and I do not have the money to replace or pay someone to repair. I have looked all over the internet looking for information but cannot find anything.

Hello gelliso – Typically E0 and 21 indicates that the unit has detected a failure switch error code which only a certified technician can repair. If the unit is less than a year old, I personally recommend contacting the manufacturer directly to see who in your area can properly assist you with the repairs.
