How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any panels.
- Check ventilation: Ensure the oven has proper clearance per installation instructions and that vents are not blocked by cabinets or foil.
- Inspect cooling fan: If your Whirlpool oven has a control cooling fan, verify it runs during high-temperature operation. If not, test and replace the cooling fan motor if defective.
- Clean vents: Remove dust and grease buildup from vents and fan blades using a dry brush and vacuum.
- Replace control: If airflow is good and fan operates but F6E1 persists, replace the electronic oven control board.
