What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F6 indicates a possible oven control or wiring problem.
Your Whirlpool range or wall oven is showing F6. The manual reads this as a possible problem with the oven control or the wiring that goes with it.
First step in the manual
Turn the power to the oven off at the breaker(s) for one (1) minute, then turn it on. Watch the oven for one (1) minute. When F6 does not display again and the oven operates, you are done.
Call (844) 968-2053 from the Miami, New York, Houston, Los Angeles or San Diego metro areas if F6 returns. Keep the model number and notes on the reset nearby. Our range repair page gives more detail.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.
Safe
Important
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
