Jenn-Air Oven Error Code F1E1-6

F1E1-6 indicates a fault in the main Appliance Control Unit related to the Convection Element 1 relay or triac being detected as open. This means the switching circuit on the control board that delivers power to the convection heating element is not functioning correctly. The oven generates this code when it detects the circuit is open rather than completing as expected during operation.

It is generally not recommended to continue using the oven when this fault is active. An open relay or triac in the convection circuit indicates a control or wiring problem that could affect oven performance or safety. Until the fault is diagnosed and repaired, normal bake and convection functions may not operate correctly.

Repair costs vary depending on which component has failed. If only a loose connector is involved, there may be no parts cost beyond a service call fee, which typically ranges from $75 to $150. Replacing the convection heating element generally runs $100 to $250 in parts and labor combined. ACU board replacement is the most expensive scenario, with parts and labor costs typically ranging from $250 to $500 or more depending on the specific model and service rates in your area.

Some homeowners with electrical experience can perform the initial steps, which include disconnecting power and inspecting connectors at the main control board for looseness or damage. If reseating connectors does not resolve the fault, diagnosing and replacing the ACU board or wiring components involves working with internal oven wiring, which is best handled by a qualified appliance technician. Replacing the convection element is a more approachable repair for experienced DIYers if the element is confirmed as the failed component.

Unplugging the oven or disconnecting power at the breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the code, but it is unlikely to resolve the underlying fault. If the relay, triac, wiring, or element has a physical failure, the code will return once the oven is powered and the control runs its diagnostics. A reset is useful for confirming whether the fault is intermittent, but it is not a repair.
