GE Oven Error Code F6

Error code F6 on GE ovens indicates a problem with the oven's temperature sensor (RTD probe) or its connection to the control board. This sensor is critical for accurate temperature regulation during cooking and baking cycles.

Step 01

Signs

• Oven will not heat or heats inconsistently • Temperature display shows unusual or fluctuating readings • Oven beeps repeatedly and displays F6 code on the control panel • Oven cycles on and off unexpectedly during preheating or cooking • Unable to start bake, broil, or self-cleaning cycles • Food cooks unevenly or takes significantly longer than normal
Step 02

Possible Causes

• Faulty or damaged oven temperature sensor (RTD probe) located inside the oven cavity • Loose or corroded electrical connection between the sensor and control board • Sensor wire insulation damage or wire breakage • Control board malfunction or failure preventing proper sensor signal recognition • Thermal fuse blown due to electrical surge or 240V power fluctuation • Sensor probe obstruction from food debris or oven buildup • Moisture or condensation in sensor connector on control board
Step 03

Safety Checks You Can Do

• Power down the oven completely by switching the circuit breaker to OFF position for 60 seconds, then switch back ON to reset the control board • Verify your home's electrical panel shows the oven circuit breaker in the ON position and has not tripped • Allow the oven to cool completely for at least 30 minutes before attempting any troubleshooting • Open the oven door and visually inspect the interior oven cavity walls for any visible debris, food particles, or buildup that may block the sensor • Check that the oven door closes completely and securely without gaps or resistance • Verify all control panel settings are correct and no buttons are stuck or pressed unintentionally • Wipe down the oven interior with a damp cloth to remove any grease or residue that may affect the sensor • Attempt to run a simple preheat cycle and observe if the error code reappears after the reset
Always disconnect power before performing any checks. If unsure, contact a certified technician.
