JennAir Microwave F4E6 Error Code

F4E6 at a glance

• Named part: the temperature sensor for the microwave wave guide, or the wiring that belongs to it.
• Wave guide, in plain terms: the channel that guides microwave energy from where it is made to the cooking cavity.
• Owner action listed by JennAir: a breaker reset followed by a minute of watching.

The reset, step by step

1. Switch the breaker feeding the unit to off and let it sit for 60 seconds.
2. Switch it on again.
3. Stay near the display for a minute and see whether F4E6 appears again, then confirm the oven runs.

JennAir’s list stops there.

What the manufacturer leaves out

The help page gives no cause, no temperature limit and no account of how the microwave behaves while the code is showing. The code therefore only identifies a sensor circuit. Deciding whether the sensor, the connection or the control behind it is the culprit is a technician’s task.

A safety note

This is general safety sense, not a line from the help page: wave guides sit in the path of microwave energy, so any panel covering them should stay in place.

Codes for neighbouring sensors

• F4E3 covers the exhaust air temperature sensor.
• F4E2 covers the microwave sensor or thermistor.
• F4E5 covers the weight sensor.
