What LLLL
actually means.
Four L letters across the displays mean ILVE's key-lock function is active: every zone is off and cannot be started by accident. To set or release it, all knobs go to 0 and two of them are turned counterclockwise together; OF appears when the lock comes off.

What to do when LLLL shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Turn every knob to 0.
Shows up asStove Error Code
The stove shows letters and numbers, a flashing symbol or a short message, beeps, and the oven or a burner stops or will not start.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from ILVE's own guidance for LLLL on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn every knob to 0.
Repeat the two-knob counterclockwise turn given in your manual until OF appears.
Set your zone again once the lock is off.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
LLLL is not a sign that the knobs or the board have failed. It is a child-safety lock, often switched on by accident while cleaning.

A stove with gas burners on top, whether its oven below runs on gas too or on electricity, fed by one gas line behind it and plugged into a wall outlet for the spark.

In ILVE's own words
The letters [L][L][L][L] appear on the display. The Key-lock function is deactivated by repeating the same operation.

Book with the code written exactly as the stove shows it, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or hot wiring — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
