KitchenAid Range Error Code F6 E5

F6 E5 means the oven control board has not been programmed with the oven cavity size, which is a required configuration setting. Without this data, the control cannot manage oven functions properly. This code most often appears after a control board replacement. It is resolved by completing the cavity size setup procedure directly on the control panel.

A power reset will not clear F6 E5 because the error is caused by missing configuration data, not a temporary fault. Cycling the power will simply cause the control to reboot and re-enter Cavity Size Select mode. The code will only clear permanently after the correct cavity size is selected and saved using the setup procedure.

If the fix only requires completing the cavity size programming procedure, there is no parts cost and a service call fee would typically be the only expense, generally ranging from $75 to $150 depending on your area. If the control board is found to be faulty and cannot retain the programmed settings, a replacement board can cost anywhere from $150 to $400 or more for the part alone, plus labor.

When F6 E5 is active, the control should power up in Cavity Size Select mode. Use key #6 (DOWN) to scroll down through the cavity size options or key #3 (UP) to scroll up until the correct size for your specific range is displayed. Press START to save the selection. If the error clears and does not return, the setup is complete and the oven should operate normally.

The oven will not operate normally while F6 E5 is active because the control lacks the required cavity size data needed to regulate heating. You should complete the cavity size programming procedure before attempting to use the oven. Attempting to bypass the setup is not recommended, as the control cannot properly manage temperature or cooking functions without this configuration.
