KitchenAid Range Code 1c6c: Oven control area

What 1c6c means

A KitchenAid range showing 1c6c reports a possible problem with the oven control or associated wiring, in the same family as 1c4c and 1c7c. Because the code is lower case and unattached to a model number, we treat it by area: the control and the wires that serve it. Typical signs are an oven that will not start or a display that stays on the code.

Common causes of 1c6c

Oven control not working as intended
Wire connection serving the control
Intermittent control behavior after a reset

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press Cancel and leave the oven idle. 2. Make sure the area around the range is dry and free of clutter. 3. Turn the breaker off for 60 seconds, then back on. 4. Run a short bake and watch the display. 5. If 1c6c reappears, stop using the oven and call us.

! Why to stop there

Finding which wire or board is the cause needs test equipment.
A guess-and-replace approach costs more than a proper diagnosis.
Pricing is written before work and the repair is covered for 30 days.

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.

1c6c1c6c questions

Is 1c6c related to 1c7c?

Both sit in the same family and describe the oven control or its wiring. The checks we perform are the same for each, so one visit covers either code.

Why does the oven not heat when this shows?

The code names the oven control, which tells the oven when to heat. If the control or its wiring misbehaves, heating can be held off until the condition is checked and corrected.

Can I clear it myself for good?

A breaker reset clears it only if it was a one-off event. If the code comes back, a technician should test the control and the wiring before the oven is used again.
