Jenn-Air Range Error Code F6E1

F6E1 indicates a cook oven over-temperature fault. The range's control system has detected that the oven cavity exceeded its safe temperature limit. This is a protective fault designed to alert you that one or more burners may not be cycling or shutting off correctly. Diagnosis involves inspecting all oven burners and testing the bake burner through the service Component Activation function.

Resetting the range by cutting power may temporarily clear the fault display, but the code will return if the root cause has not been fixed. If a gas valve is stuck open or a control board relay has failed, those components must be repaired or replaced before the fault will stay resolved. A reset alone is not a fix.

Repair costs depend on which component has failed. A replacement oven temperature sensor typically runs in the range of $20 to $60 for the part, while a gas valve or main control board can cost anywhere from $100 to $350 or more for parts alone. Adding professional labor, total repair costs can range from $150 to $500 or higher depending on the diagnosis.

No, you should not continue using the oven while this fault is present. An over-temperature condition means the oven may be unable to regulate heat properly, which is both a fire risk and a food safety concern. Discontinue use until the underlying cause has been identified and repaired.

Start by turning the oven on and watching all three burners, convect, bake, and broil, to see if any stay lit continuously without cycling. Then use the Component Activation diagnostic mode to cycle the bake burner and observe whether it turns off on command. Depending on the findings, the repair will likely involve replacing a faulty gas valve, the oven temperature sensor, or the main control board.
