The display and the main control board stopped hearing each other, or the board failed its own check. A power dip, a loose ribbon cable or moisture behind the panel is ruled out before either board is replaced, and an oven that stays on through this code is switched off at the breaker.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from AGA's own guidance for 159 on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Use the touch panel behind the top left door to run the ovens for now.
Check the handset's battery symbol and fit fresh long-life batteries if it is down to one bar.
If 159 is still logged with a fresh handset battery, book a visit.
What not to do
159 is not an oven heating problem. Only the wireless link to the handset is affected.
