JennAir Microwave F6 Error Code

What each microwave type says

F6 is a control-electronics code, but JennAir’s two help pages word it slightly differently.

• Built-in microwave: the oven control, or the wiring.
• Over-the-range microwave: the relay control board, or the wiring.

Both say “possible problem”. No trigger, such as a power event or a particular program, is named. That also explains why one code names two parts: the pages cover two microwave types, so check which you own.

Breaker reset

This is the sole owner-level step. Switch the breaker off, wait a full minute, switch on, and watch the unit for another minute. Without F6, you are finished.

F6 after the reset

Control boards and relay boards cannot be serviced by the owner, and reaching them means opening the cabinet. Let a technician do it. Be ready to say which microwave type you have and that F6 returned following a reset.

Extra questions

Is a symptom linked to F6? Neither page describes any; only a part name and the reset are given.

Should I repeat the reset? JennAir describes it once with a minute of monitoring. A code present after that has had its chance to clear.

Codes in the same area

• F6E0 belongs to the F6 family and names a control board or temperature sensor depending on model.
• F06 looks similar and concerns the electronic control.
• 1C4C group also points toward the oven control.
