Use the touch panel behind the top left door to run the ovens for now. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can I still cook on my AGA eR7 while 159 is showing? Yes, the code concerns the handset's radio link. The same ovens and hotplates can be set from the panel behind the top left door. ### Will new batteries fix 159 on an AGA eR7 handset? They are worth trying because a weak handset is the simplest thing to rule out. If the code stays, the receiver or its link to the main board needs checking. --- **[Read on the site: AGA eR7 handset showing error 159 | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/aga-159/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
