GE Range Error Code F3 E6

F3 E6 on a GE range means the control board is detecting an open circuit in the warming drawer temperature sensor. This indicates the sensor or its wiring has lost electrical continuity, so the board cannot monitor the warming drawer temperature. The fault is a protective measure to prevent the warming drawer from operating without temperature feedback.

Unplugging the range or cycling the breaker may temporarily clear the error code, but it will return as soon as the control board checks the sensor circuit again. The underlying open circuit in the warming drawer sensor must be repaired for the code to clear permanently.

If the fix is simply reseating a loose connector, there is no parts cost. A replacement warming drawer sensor typically costs between $20 and $60 depending on the model. If a professional technician is needed, expect to pay between $100 and $250 total including the service call, labor, and parts.

Yes, in many cases this repair is DIY-friendly. Start by unplugging the range, removing the rear access panel, and checking that the warming drawer sensor connector is firmly plugged in. If reconnecting the connector resolves the issue, no parts are needed. If the sensor itself has failed, replacing it requires purchasing the correct sensor for your model and basic electrical connector skills.

The oven and surface burners may continue to function while this code is active, but the warming drawer should not be used. Without a functioning temperature sensor, the warming drawer has no reliable temperature control or safety monitoring. Avoid using the warming drawer until the sensor fault is repaired.
