Kenmore Range Error Code F1 E6

The F1 E6 code on a Kenmore range indicates an internal error within the power board. The power board controls how electricity is routed through the range, and this code means the board has detected a fault it cannot self-correct. Replacing the power board is the recommended solution.

A simple reset by unplugging the range or tripping the circuit breaker is unlikely to permanently clear the F1 E6 error. Because this code reflects a hardware-level internal fault on the power board, the error will typically return after power is restored. Board replacement is the corrective action, not a reset.

The cost to resolve an F1 E6 error typically involves the price of a replacement power board plus any labor charges if a technician performs the repair. Parts costs can vary depending on the specific Kenmore range model, but board replacements generally range from around $80 to $250 or more for the part alone. Adding professional labor could bring the total repair cost to somewhere between $150 and $400 depending on your location and the technician's rates.

A knowledgeable DIYer comfortable with appliance repair can attempt to replace the power board after disconnecting power to the range. However, working with range electrical components carries safety risks, and if you are not confident in your ability to safely disconnect and replace the board, hiring a qualified technician is the better option. Always ensure power is fully disconnected before touching any internal components.

It is not recommended to continue using the range while this error is active. An internal power board failure can affect how electricity is distributed throughout the appliance, which could create unpredictable behavior or potential safety hazards. Disconnect power to the range until the power board has been inspected and replaced.
