Error codeF6EA
ApplianceMicrowave
Quick answer
F6EA is the F6 code that mentions heat: the user interface control sensing over temperature.
Model compatibility: JennAir reuses codes across series and model years, so F6EA may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F6EA is a possible problem with the user interface control sensing an over temperature condition, or with the wiring.
Heat enters the picture with F6EA. On the built-in microwave page JennAir gives its possible problem as the user interface control sensing an over temperature condition, or the wiring.
How far the description goes
You touch the user interface to operate the microwave: it is the control and the display. The entry connects the code with heat noticed at that spot. It does not say where the heat came from or that the microwave itself is overheating, so keep to that reading.
Reset sequence
Breaker off.
Sixty seconds go by.
Breaker on.
Monitor for a minute that the code stays gone.
Still on the screen
When a control reports excess heat repeatedly, that calls for service. Testing of the control and wiring belongs to a technician, and the page offers no owner check that is safe.
Two answers
Is the cavity overheated? Not according to the entry, which refers to the interface control.
Reset repeatedly? One reset plus a minute of monitoring is what JennAir lists. A code that is back after that should go to a technician.
Other touch-panel entries
SE and E03: for over-the-range units, keypad trouble.
Important safety warning. 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.
