GE electric water heater displays E6 and does not respond to temperature adjustments.

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before removing the control panel.

Steps to address E6:

• Inspect the keypad: Check for physical damage, cracks, or signs of water intrusion on the front panel.
• Dry moisture: If condensation or water is present, carefully dry the area and allow time for complete drying before reapplying power.
• Disconnect and reseat: Remove the front panel, disconnect the keypad ribbon cable, inspect for corrosion, and reconnect firmly.
• Test operation: Restore power and see if buttons respond normally and E6 clears.
• Replace UI: If the fault persists, replace the user interface/touch control assembly with the correct GE part.
