What 159
actually means.
The eR7 handset talks to a radio receiver inside the cooker, and code 159 means that receiver has stopped communicating with the main board. The handset itself may seem fine while the link inside the cooker has dropped.
AGA stove display
What to do when 159 shows on the stoveKind of codeKnobs, keys and display
A key on the panel was held down too long, reported a press nobody made, or stopped answering; or a knob's switch told the stove it was on when it was off. Water, a spill or grease worked in behind a knob is ruled out first, then the switch, the key panel and the cable to the board. If a burner keeps heating while the keys or knobs do nothing, switch the stove off at the breaker.
Usually leads toKnob and switch replacement
Stove knobs that are cracked, loose or spin in place, and the switches behind them that leave a burner stuck on high or dead, replaced at the knob, the stem or the switch.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from AGA's own guidance for 159 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the handset batteries; AGA says to replace them when the symbol is down to one bar.
Use ordinary batteries, since AGA does not recommend rechargeables in the handset.
If 159 remains with fresh batteries, book a visit so the receiver can be checked.
Still there?
It usually turns into knob and switch replacement. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
159 is not the handset being out of range. It refers to the receiver inside the cooker and its link to the board, which fresh batteries alone may not fix.
