F6E1 has two readings: a self-clean that ran too hot on commercial-style ranges, or Appliance Manager hardware (plus the converter control on wall ovens).
Model compatibility: JennAir 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.
Plain language
What this code means
Possible Appliance Manager (and Converter Control on wall ovens) or wiring problem; on commercial-style ranges the oven got too hot during self-clean and the controls lock until it cools.
If F6E1 appeared while a self-clean was running, start there. On a commercial-style range that is JennAir’s first question.
Self-clean overheating (commercial-style range)
JennAir reads the code as the oven having been too hot during the self-clean cycle.
As a protection, the controls stay locked until the oven has cooled.
Next comes a power cycle: leave the range disconnected for 5 minutes, either unplugged or with its breaker off, then restore power.
Control hardware (range and wall oven)
The remaining pages describe parts instead of a self-clean condition.
On the range page: a possible Appliance Manager or wiring problem.
On the wall oven page: a possible problem with the Appliance Manager Control, the Converter Control or the wiring.
Both add that a variety of reasons could be behind the code. The reset for both is the breaker: off for one minute, back on, a minute of watching the display, and a check that the oven operates.
What stays unknown
JennAir says “a variety of reasons”, so the code has no single cause, and JennAir offers owners no way to tell the Appliance Manager from the wiring. There is also an induction-cooktop entry for F6E1 with its own disconnect-and-reconnect steps; those are for a cooktop and have no place in an oven reset.

F6E3 repeats nearly the same wording, self-clean message included.

Once the oven has cooled and the reset is finished, F6E1 on the display is a reason to ring (310) 622-9465. Tell us if a self-clean was in progress, and have your model number nearby.
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.
