E6 error appears, often immediately after powering on or when starting any program.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker. Do not attempt to use it while E6 is displayed, as it may indicate an unsafe electrical condition.
User-level checks:
- Inspect the power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Try a different wall outlet to rule out supply issues.
Internal inspection (advanced):
- Remove the bottom cover and visually inspect the main control board.
- Look for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or a burnt smell near the heating element triac or relay.
- If any component is visibly damaged, the entire PCB should typically be replaced rather than repaired at component level.
Because E6 usually indicates a control board failure, most users should contact T-fal service or a professional technician for board replacement.
