Error code F1E6
Appliance Wall Oven

What F1E6 is flagging

On a Whirlpool wall oven, F1E6 appearing in the display suggests the microwave thermistor or sensor could be at fault, or the wiring that serves it.

Try a power cycle first

  • Cut power at the breaker, or pull the plug, and leave it off for one (1) minute.
  • Bring power back.
  • Watch the display for a minute; see if F1E6 shows up once more.
  • Run the oven to be sure it behaves normally.

Neighboring microwave codes

  • F1E5: inverter or magnetron tube side of the microwave
  • F1E4: appliance manager or power relay
  • F3E2: the oven temperature sensor, a different part from this one

What this code means

F1E6 may indicate a fault in the microwave thermistor or sensor, or the wiring tied to it.
