Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the oven at the breaker for at least 5 minutes.
Reset and inspect:
- After 5–10 minutes, restore power and see if the E6 code clears.
- If the error returns immediately, remove power again and access the main control board behind the control panel.
- Inspect the board for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or signs of moisture.
- Check all harness connectors for secure fit.
If no visible damage is found and the error persists after reset, the main control board is likely faulty. Replacement of the main control board is recommended and should be done by a qualified technician to avoid miswiring and further damage.
