Jenn-Air Dishwasher Error Code E:06

E:06 indicates a Door Hall sensor fault. The Hall sensor monitors the position of the dishwasher door, and this code appears when the control system detects an interrupted signal from that sensor. The cause is either a wiring or connector problem between the sensor and the control board, or a defective power module or Hall sensor itself.

You should not attempt to run the dishwasher with an active E:06 fault. The Hall sensor is part of the door safety monitoring system, and if the control board cannot confirm the door is securely closed, operating the machine risks water leakage. Address the fault before resuming normal use.

A power reset may temporarily clear the E:06 code, but it will return if the underlying fault is still present. If the wiring connection is intermittent, the code may not reappear immediately after a reset, which can make diagnosis more difficult. A permanent fix requires identifying and correcting the wiring problem, replacing the Hall sensor, or addressing a faulty power module.

Some causes of E:06 are DIY-friendly. Start by checking the wiring connectors at the Hall sensor for loose plugs or visible corrosion and reseating any disconnected connectors. If that does not clear the fault, measuring supply voltage at the sensor connector requires a multimeter and basic electrical knowledge. Replacing the Hall sensor is a moderate repair, but diagnosing or replacing the power module is best handled by a qualified technician.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If the fix is simply reseating a loose connector, there is no parts cost involved. A replacement Hall sensor typically runs in the range of $20 to $60 for the part alone. If the power module is defective, parts and labor combined can range from $150 to $350 or more depending on the specific module and service rates in your area.
