GE Range Error Code F6E2

The F6E2 code means the oven detected an over-temperature condition during the self-clean cycle. The control board monitors oven heat through a temperature sensor, and if temperatures exceed safe limits, it triggers this fault and shuts down the cycle. The issue is most often related to a faulty oven sensor, a stuck bake relay, or a bake element that is not cycling off correctly.

Resetting the range by disconnecting power for a few minutes may temporarily clear the F6E2 code, but the fault will return if the underlying component issue is not resolved. The root cause, whether a faulty sensor, relay, or element, must be diagnosed and corrected to prevent the error from coming back during the next clean cycle.

Repair costs depend on which component has failed. An oven temperature sensor typically costs between $20 and $60 for the part, while a bake element can range from $30 to $100. Control board replacement is the most expensive repair, often ranging from $150 to $350 or more for the part alone, plus labor if a technician is performing the work.

You should avoid running the self-clean cycle again until the underlying cause has been diagnosed and repaired. Normal baking and cooking may still be possible, but if the bake relay or element is causing continuous heating, operating the oven poses a safety and fire risk. Have the range inspected before resuming full use.

Start by entering diagnostics mode and using the BAKE key to cycle the bake relay, then confirm that the bake element or gas valve cycles on and off in response. If the element or valve does not respond, the control board or relay is likely the problem. If it cycles correctly but the oven still overheats, the oven temperature sensor should be tested and replaced if it is reading outside of specification.
