E6 error; ignition may be weak or absent, with no or few sparks heard.

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

Defective ignition transformer, Broken ignition cable, Cracked ceramic insulator, Control board ignition driver fault

Safety: High voltage is present at the ignition circuit. Disconnect power before inspection.

Inspect ignition cable: Look for cracks, burn marks, or loose connections between the ignition transformer and electrode.
Check electrode ceramic: Replace the electrode if the ceramic is cracked or carbon-tracked.
Listen for sparks: After reassembly and with power on, start the unit and listen. No clicking suggests a failed transformer or PCB, requiring professional replacement.
