KitchenAid Range Code FEE6: the main cavity bake element or its wiring

What FEE6 means

KitchenAid freestanding and slide-in electric, gas and dual-fuel ranges, such as the KFEG500ESS or KSEG700ESS, display FEE6 when the main cavity bake element, or the wiring that feeds it, may have a problem. The bake element is the lower heating part of the main oven. With this code, the oven may heat badly or not at all in bake mode.

Wiring to the bake element

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press Cancel and let the oven cool. 2. Look at the bake element through the open door without touching it, and note any visible damage. 3. Reset power at the breaker: off for a minute, then on. 4. If FEE6 comes back or the oven does not heat, call us.

! Why to stop there

Elements and their wiring carry high current.
The right fix depends on what testing shows.
Our price is written before we start and repairs come 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.

FEE6FEE6 questions

What does FEE6 refer to?

The main cavity bake element, or the wiring that serves it. The bake element is the lower heater in the main oven, so bake results are what you notice first.

How does FEE6 differ from FEE7?

FEE7 names the broil element, while FEE6 is the bake element. Each code points to its own heater and its own wiring, so the visit tests the right one.

Can I use broil instead?

Maybe, if broil works and FEE7 is not showing. Do not cook on a range that shows signs of damage, odd smells or sparks, and call us if you see any of them.
