Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. Moving parts can start unexpectedly if the unit is energized.
- Check drum movement: Rotate the drum by hand. It should move smoothly without grinding or binding.
- Inspect motor connections: Remove rear panel to access the drive motor. Verify the wiring harness plug is fully seated and not burnt or loose.
- Check tachometer wiring: On many motors, the tach sensor is integrated. Ensure its connector is secure and wires are intact.
- Brush inspection (if applicable): On brush-type motors, remove the motor and inspect carbon brushes. If they are worn short or uneven, replace with correct JennAir-compatible brushes.
- Test spin: Reassemble and run a spin-only cycle. If F06 returns immediately, the motor or control board may need replacement.
When to call a technician: Motor and control diagnostics often require live voltage tests and specialized tools. If basic checks do not resolve the fault, contact a professional.
