Jenn-Air Range Error Code 1c6c

The 1c6c code on a Jenn-Air range indicates an EEPROM hardware fault detected during an EEPROM access attempt. The EEPROM is a memory chip on the main control board that stores calibration and configuration data. A hardware-level fault at this chip means the control board cannot reliably read or write that memory. This is typically a sign of control board failure.

It is not recommended to continue using the range while this error is present. A hardware fault in the control board's memory can cause unpredictable behavior, including incorrect temperature regulation or failure of safety-related control functions. Discontinue use until the control board has been inspected and repaired or replaced.

Repair costs for a 1c6c fault depend primarily on the cost of the main control board and labor. Control board replacements on Jenn-Air ranges typically range from $200 to $600 or more for parts alone, with labor adding an additional $100 to $200 depending on the service provider and location. Getting a diagnosis from a qualified technician before ordering parts is advisable to confirm the control board is the correct repair.

Because the EEPROM is a component soldered directly onto the main control board, field repair is not practical for most technicians or homeowners. The standard repair is replacing the main control board. A qualified appliance repair technician should handle the diagnosis and board replacement to ensure the correct part is used and the repair is performed safely.

A power reset, such as cycling the circuit breaker, is unlikely to permanently clear the 1c6c error because it is a hardware-level fault rather than a soft communication or data error. The code may temporarily disappear but will return once the control board again attempts to access the EEPROM. Resolving the fault requires addressing the underlying hardware failure.
