Jenn-Air Oven Error Code F1E5-6

F1E5-6 is a secondary ACU fault code indicating that the Convect 1 Element relay or triac on the main control board is detected as open. This means the control board cannot properly switch power to the convection heating element. The fault points to a failure either within the ACU itself, in the wiring connecting it to the element, or at a connector on the board.

You should avoid using convection mode while this fault is present, as the convection element circuit has been flagged as non-functional. Standard bake functions using other elements may still operate, but running the oven with an unresolved control board fault is not recommended. Disconnect power and have the oven inspected before continued use.

Repair costs depend on the root cause. If a loose connector is the only issue, the fix may cost little to nothing beyond a service call fee, which typically ranges from $75 to $150. If the ACU requires replacement, parts and labor combined can range from $250 to $600 or more depending on the specific model and local labor rates. Replacing a convection element tends to fall in the lower to mid range of that estimate.

In some cases, yes. The first diagnostic step is to disconnect power and inspect all wiring connectors at the main control board for anything that is loose or unplugged. Reseating a connector that has worked loose can clear the fault without any part replacement. If the connections are secure and undamaged, a failed component such as the ACU or convection element will need to be replaced, which may require a technician.

Disconnecting power for several minutes and restoring it may temporarily clear the code, but it will return if the underlying fault has not been corrected. A reset does not repair a failed relay, triac, or open wiring circuit. The root cause must be diagnosed and addressed for the code to stay clear.
