KitchenAid Range Code F6 E5: the user interface or its wiring

What F6 E5 means

On KitchenAid freestanding and slide-in ranges such as the KFEG500ESS or KFGG500ESS, F6 E5 says there may be a problem with the user interface or its wiring. The user interface is the keypad and display area you touch to set the oven. Owners usually notice F6 E5 in the display along with pads that respond poorly or an oven that will not accept a setting.

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth and remove anything resting on it. 2. Press Cancel. 3. Turn the range off at the breaker for a minute and back on. 4. If F6 E5 returns, stop using the oven controls and call us.

! Why to stop there

Interface problems can sit under the glass where only a technician can reach.
Repeated pressing of keys can make matters worse.
We put our price in writing first, and back the repair with a 30-day warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F6 E5F6 E5 questions

What is the user interface?

It is the touch panel and display where you pick modes and temperatures. F6 E5 points to that panel and the wiring behind it, which is why pads may feel unresponsive.

Do F6 E5 and F6 EA mean different things?

They name the same area, the user interface or its wiring, so repair steps for the two are alike. A technician checks the panel and its connections in either case.

Can moisture on the panel cause it?

The published meaning names the interface and wiring only. Keep the panel clean and dry anyway, and avoid spraying cleaner onto it. Call us if the code stays after a reset.
