KitchenAid Range Code F06: electronic control or wiring

What F06 means

Shown on KitchenAid freestanding and slide-in ranges such as the KFEG500ESS or KSEG700ESS, F06 is described as pointing to the electronic control, or the wiring tied to it. The code takes over the display, so the clock disappears, and baking or broiling may be stopped for as long as it shows. It sits in the same family as the other control codes, but we log it on its own because the number tells us what the range reported.

Common causes of F06

The electronic control has an internal problem
Wiring connected to the control is loose or damaged

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press Cancel once. 2. Switch the range off at its breaker for one minute, then back on. 3. Reset the clock and run a brief bake to check. 4. A gas smell on a gas or dual-fuel unit means you should leave and phone the gas utility from outside. 5. If F06 shows again, stop using the oven and call us.

! Why to stop there

Opening the control housing exposes live mains wiring
A board can be replaced only after the harness and power supply to it have been checked

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.

F06F06 questions

Can F06 be cleared by pressing Cancel?

Pressing Cancel is worth trying once. If the control has a lasting problem, F06 comes straight back, and it is better to stop cooking and have the control and its wiring tested.

What happens to my settings after a power reset?

The clock usually needs to be set again, and any timers are cleared. Those are small costs, so a single breaker reset is a safe thing to try before you call us.

Why does the repair price vary?

It depends on whether the wiring or the control board itself needs work. We test first and give you a written price before any repair begins, so you decide with the facts.
