F6E1 error, oven may not start or may shut down unexpectedly

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

Failed cooling fan, blocked control area ventilation, control board overheating due to high ambient temperature

Safety: Disconnect power before removing any panels.

Check cooling fan: Verify the internal cooling fan near the control runs during oven operation. If not, test and replace the fan motor.
Inspect airflow: Ensure the oven is installed with proper clearances and that cabinet vents are not blocked.
Clean dust: Remove dust buildup around the control and fan that could impede cooling.

If adequate cooling is present but F6E1 continues, the control board may be heat-damaged and should be replaced.
