Error codeF6E1
ApplianceRange
If F6E1 is on the display of your Whirlpool range, the manual says the appliance manager or the wiring around it may have a problem. Ranges are the listed appliance.
The manual’s first step
Switch off the breaker or unplug the range.
Wait one (1) minute.
Restore power and keep an eye on the oven for another minute.
If F6E1 stays off, check that the oven works properly.
Codes to compare
F6E3 names the appliance manager and wiring in the same way.
F6E0 includes the oven control along with the appliance manager.
San Francisco technician visits
A Whirlpool range that repeats F6E1 can be seen by our technicians in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Call (415) 687-4102, and have the code, model number and reset outcome ready. Our Whirlpool range repair page tells more.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F6E1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
